Security Agenda

Symposium/ITxpo 2009 is organized according to nine IT leadership roles. Each track includes targeted sessions and networking opportunities to transform your organization's IT strategies.

For Security & Risk Management Leaders, Symposium/ITxpo 2009 will answer:
  • How do I create clear links between risk management initiatives and business performance?
  • How much security is enough security, particularly with ever-tightening budgets?
  • What are the elements of an effective proactive program to address reasonably anticipated threats?
  • In the absence of a breach or disaster, how do I drive executive support and funding for a proactive approach to security, risk management and business continuity?

How much security is enough, particularly with ever-tightening budgets? The irony of great security, risk management, and business continuity programs is that they're only appreciated when something goes wrong or, ideally, a great wrong is averted. Part of this is the immature treatment of these disciplines, but part of it lies in security leaders’ failure to clearly define and articulate the business value of what they do. This track will help you create a program that addresses risk, meets compliance requirements, and is directly linked to business performance.
