The Leading Event for IT Security Specialists

The aftershocks of the global economic crisis are still resonating. Information technology is working behind the scenes to improve transparency of financial and business processes, and make communication more reliable and collaboration more efficient. IT itself is challenged to reduce cost and redirect investments to business initiatives, while addressing the changing landscape of security threats. Due to the interconnectedness of risk management, IT security and IT compliance with the business, risk and security managers need an insight and vision of how things will evolve in the long run, taking into account transparency and governance needs as well as cloud computing, smart mobile devices and borderless collaboration.

Understand what you can do to protect your organization's information resources in the most efficient and effective ways and, by proactively managing risks, to enable new technology and business initiatives.
