10 Simple Rules for Implementing an Encryption Strategy
Organizations are becoming more and more proactive about data security, with data encryption viewed as a core element to their defensive measures.
Encryption of data is being adopted at a rapid rate to comply with industry regulations, protect intellectual property, obtain safe harbor from data breachdisclosure laws, and effectively manage risk. As encryption proliferates, IT professionals are making critical decisions that directly contribute to, or detract from, an organization's ability to effectively manage encryption keys and data security.
Data is an organization's most valuable asset and it must be protected.
Designing and implementing an encryption strategy is not complicated if you understand the needs of your organization and establish the right decision-making criteria for encryption solutions. Simplicity, breadth, manageability and efficiency are the primary requirements security-minded organizations must build into their encryption strategy. A solution that has the least complexity will make the jobs of IT professionals easier, be more cost-effective and time-efficient, while at the same time protecting data and meeting compliance standards.

Understanding Managed File Transfer - Insights & Best Practices
As IT departments continually adopt new technologies to improve the performance of their systems, productivity of their end users and relationships with trading partners, they are faced with numerous challenges. One such challenge companies face today is securing and automating large file transfers. Traditional file transfer systems and mediums no longer meet the needs of most organizations or their trading partners, especially when data exposure is a concern. Many organizations have developed in-house solutions that are difficult to manage, lack the ability to track and audit file transfers, and expose the organization to security breaches. A Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution should be secure, easy to manage, and have the flexibility to integrate with existing technologies.
In this presentation, you will:
- Gain a better understanding of the business challenges and drivers of file transfers.
- Identify the security concerns around traditional file transfer systems and mediums.
- Learn best practices to develop security architectures for file transfers.
- Understand how a MFT solution can meet the needs of your stakeholders

Top 10 reasons IT Security may fail and what you can do about it
You keep seeing the news about data breaches every day and you ask "Can it happen to me?"
Then you think to yourself, Nah - I've got IDS, AntiSpam, Firewall, Patching. I should be ok.
But then everyone that got affected had all of those too.
So what now?
Well a full time, certified security person would be nice...but wait there's the hiring freeze.
In this talk, learn how you can take something you already have a lot of (audit logs, config information, netflow) and turn that into actionable intelligence. Learn how you can have the equivalent of a full time security person on staff for a fraction of the cost.
