Evolve Your Role. Optimise Value.
Protecting Your Business In Tough Times.

You've been doing a good job. The businesses are running - and you've been working with the process owners to address risks. But security is evolving. And new threats have kept you on your toes.

What are some more of the unsettling things that need to be addressed? And how do you survive and advance in your career?

The 2009 Gartner Information Security Summit will address the challenges and issues at the forefront of business today. You'll get the answers to these and many more questions:

• What must I know about the evolving technologies of information security and related disciplines?
• How do I become a more effective security/privacy/risk manager?
• How do I technically secure applications, or handle security for my industry-specific requirements?
• What is my career path within or outside my current company/agency?
• How can I communicate my value to the business more effectively?

At Gartner's Information Security Summit you will:

• Gain the latest understanding of emerging trends and issues relating to threats, policy, standards
• Learn what your peers are doing, and how they are doing it
• Hear best practices around governance, processes and technology

At this event we will answer the following questions:

• How will the role of security evolve in the next 3-5 years - what are the implications on technology, standards and policies?
• How can I deliver and demonstrate business value of my Information Security program?
• How can I increase security awareness throughout my organization?

Gartner's Information Security Scenario
Presented by Andrew Walls, Research Director

Cyberthreats are continuing to evolve, with large increases in financially motivated, highly targeted (and highly damaging) attacks. New technology and business trends, such as the consumerisation of IT, Web 2.0 and globalisation, are undoing many traditional security processes. New approaches and technologies for protecting critical business information systems are needed. This presentation will provide road maps for evolving information security protections to meet the challenges.
