Get Your Wi-Fi Ready for the iPad
Apple has sold over 52 million iPhones and iPads in the first half of 2011. These employee-owned consumer devices are making their way to the workplace creating a new set of security and management challenges for IT departments. Aruba has developed a new solution to help customers scale their "existing" Wi-Fi network (including Cisco Wi-Fi) and IT helpdesk processes to support productivity enhancing bring-your-own-device initiatives.

ELIMINATING DATA SECURITY THREATS
Unstructured and semi-structured data presents unique challenges to IT organizations when it comes to identifying who has access, who is accessing and most importantly, who should have access to shared Windows, NAS and UNIX folders, SharePoint sites and Exchange mailboxes and public folders.

Using The Next Generation Firewall for Detection and Control of Modern Malware
Modern malware is at the heart of many of the most sophisticated IT security breaches the industry has ever seen. Malware has evolved to become some of the most highly evasive, adaptable and resilient networked applications in the world, and often act as the platform for attackers to launch and control increasingly sophisticated attacks. Join us as we dive into the world of modern malware to see what is real, what is hype and what things we need to be doing as an industry and as individual security practitioners to protect our users and networks. Palo Alto Networks will demonstrate their evolutionary Malware Sandboxing and Signature Generating solution – Wildfire – during this presentation. |
