Presenter: Freeform Dynamics

Presented by independent industry analysts, Freeform Dynamics, the Security Keynote will deliver analysis on the reality of Security in the modern business according to the thousands of IT Professionals polled.

Presenter: TBC

There's always lots of talk about security keeping the bad guys out, but how true is this? Incidents such as the recent HMCE CDROM incident are far more about stupidity than malice. What exactly are the real threats, and what can organisations do to mitigate them?

Presenter: TBC

While compliance and regulation may be driving the business, quite a lot of legislation has a bearing on what IT security measures an organisation needs to put in place. What kinds of regulation and legislation has an impact, and what can be done about it?

Presenter: TBC

While hackers may no longer be getting as much of the limelight, they are becoming more earnest as they respond to their own market pressures. What kinds of attack are in the virus writers' plans, and what's the impact on the target organisation or individual? What protections exist against the next wave of dangers?

Presenter: TBC

Much of the external threat materialises in the form of "malicious content" - viruses, spam, spyware and the like. This can be spotted and dealt with on the desktop, or equally, by spotting such content as it arrives into the organisation using network-based appliances, or even in the cloud by specialist providers or ISPs. What's the best combination and how can it be managed?

Presenter: TBC

Many security issues, it is said, could be prevented if organisations had a better handle on their people and assets, and who could access what. for what reason. Identity management is a complex area but it is becoming a hot topic - what strategies exist for defining and managing identities in the business environment?

Presenter: TBC

Encryption has been around for a long time as a capability, and yet it is still not used to its full potential. What areas exist that could benefit from encryption, and how should it be used? This includes such things as digital signing of emails and protecting the confidentiality of mobile and offsite data. What issues exist - e.g. key management - and how can they be overcome?

Presenter: TBC

IT security is often considered as building a wall around the corporation, but this model was never valid once aspects such as teleworking, remote offices and mobile device proliferation were taken into account. How should organisations take these aspects into account? What basic protections can be implemented (such as wireless security) to protect the user?

Presenter: TBC

Email has rapidly become mission critical, and yet remains a source of risk for many individuals and organisations. What threats exist that are specific to email, and what can be done about them, now and into the future?

Presenter: TBC

A drill down into the world of bots, zombies and trojans to cover how these things have evolved and what's the current landscape. Spam, distributed denial of service and other attack vectors all leverage remotely controlled "sleeper" programs running on unsuspecting desktop PCs. What's happening and what can be done?

Presenter: TBC

Many organisations are responding to regulatory pressures to improve how they manage and protect information, which has an impact on security. How can this be integrated with security management practice in a holistic fashion, so management can be as efficient and effective as possible?

Presenter: TBC

So you have your antivirus, your intrusion detection/prevention and your single sign-on. What can you do to ensure that they are all working together and that you have not left any holes that could be exploited? How can IT security be integrated with physical and personnel security measures?

Presenter: TBC

Organisations such as the Jericho forum have expounded on the virtues of removing the barriers to business that security may impose. In the future however, the models may be more about extending the boundaries than removing them. What does this mean in practice?

Presenter: TBC
