Protecting your firm's IT resources - a look ahead to 2010 and beyond
In association with Secure Computing
Date: Wednesday 8 October 2008, 3pm UK time
Duration: 60 minutes
The world of IT security is changing.
Technologies such as software-as-a-service and virtualisation are enhancing the local IT topology and making it more efficient.
But what about the security of this complex - and in many cases - brand new IT environment? How can the hard-pressed IT manager protect the company's computing resources?
And what about the arrival of social networking and other Web 2.0 computing experiences? How do you apply security effectively to a next-generation multi-protocol IP environment?
This Webinar will attempt to detail and discuss all these issues - and more - whilst answering many the security questions that today's IT managers are concerned about.
This Webinar will:
-Outline Secure Computing's vision of pro-active, reputation and application-centric computing.
-Explain how flexible and hybrid delivery systems can ease the pain of transition.
-Help attendees understand how Collaborative Oriented Architecture changes the IT security landscape (for the better).
-Learn what you can do to prepare your organisation for Security - 2010-style.
