Preparing Your Network for the Mobility Explosion: How to Turn BYOD into Productivity
The real drain on IT resources when evaluating a networking vendor solution is not simply getting devices onto the network – it’s what to do with them once they’re there. Having a way to securely connect and monitor managed and unmanaged devices, reporting on security compliance, ensuring the devices can use available services and assets and are restricted from those which they should not access, and making sure the devices don’t overwhelm available network resources are the real game changers for a successful BYOD implementation.
This session will discuss the necessary connectivity and productivity requirements in order to ensure your network is truly ready for the mobility explosion, including an overview of necessary access, authentication, and security options as well as focusing on the equally essential features required to ensure your network is prepared to make all devices attached to it productive and compliant.

Breaking the Vicious Cycle of the Malnet Threat and Botnet Infections
The Vicious Cycle of Malnets
In 2012, Blue Coat expects malware distribution infrastructures will be responsible for more than two- thirds of all malicious cyber-attacks. Malnets (malware networks) are extensive infrastructures embedded in the Internet and designed to deliver mass market attacks to the largest possible audience on a continuous basis. Hear the details of Blue Coat Systems latest 2012 Security Report and learn why stopping the attacks using traditional zero-day defenses is a losing proposition. Learn how cyber-criminals have created a vicious cycle of malware attacks and why you need new solutions in order to protect your users and break this vicious cycle. In this session you learn:
- What threat vectors are being exploited by cyber-criminals to target their attacks
- Why the 'whack-a-mole' defense strategy just doesn't work against todays attacks
- Why 'zero-day' defense is insufficient and why you need negative-day protection
- Where malnet infrastructures are located and hide and why they are nearly impossible to eradicate

The Dynamic World of Threat Detection, Containment & Response
Regardless of size, network security is a top priority for all organizations. Networks are more vulnerable than ever due to the inherent risk of facilitating remote access in conjunction with the volume of traffic and the speed at which that traffic is flowing. As organizations migrate from 1Gb to 10Gb and beyond, network security tools struggle to keep up with these increasing connection speeds as the tools may not be designed to process the volume of packet traffic going through the protected link. Therefore, it is vital to implement security architectures and strategies that not only prevent security breaches, but can also dynamically react to potential threats and scale to meet future needs.

Manage, Control, and Audit the Use of Shared, Privileged, and Administrative Accounts
- Do you know how many privileged, shared, or generic identities exist within your IT infrastructure?
- Do you know who has access to these accounts and what they’re doing during administrative sessions?
- Are auditors requesting reports on entitlement to and usage of these identities?
The average enterprise includes thousands of privileged identities, accounts, and passwords. Manually managing and updating these is a time-consuming, costly and repetitive process. Administrative and application accounts (hard-coded, embedded credentials) can be found in network devices, servers, and software within an organization, including virtual environments, yet access to these accounts is unmonitored. Sharing of access to these accounts occurs frequently, so the system does not track WHO logged in, merely that a login occurred—a significant audit challenge.
Learn how to mitigate the risk of mismanagement of shared, privileged, and administrative accounts and how to address associated audit and compliance findings. |

Five Security Questions to Ask When Choosing a Cloud Provider
Increasingly, companies are moving components of their business operations to the cloud, including backup and disaster recovery. The reasons are compelling:
- Reduced IT expenses
- Greater efficiency
- Greater collaboration and mobility
But news headlines are a stark reminder that not all Clouds are created equal. When evaluating a Cloud service provider to manage your critical business data, it’s important to understand how your security goals and those of the Cloud provider are aligned.
Asking five critical questions today could save you considerable headaches tomorrow. Learn what these questions are and how they can help you ensure a secure cloud solution for your organization.
