9.15am IT Security Strategies: Weathering the Economic Storm
  Roger Ling, Program Manager, Software
  IDC Malaysia
   

While economic meltdown poses challenges, organization's security challenges have not gone away. Increasing sophistication of attacks, budget too small to cover necessary security purchases, lack of IT security experts within company, preventing exposure of confidential information and growing complexity of applications and standards will continue to create greater challenges for enterprise’s security management.

Security investments will become ever more important also as businesses need to hedge themselves from further damage caused by security attacks. And during a market downturn, companies need to hold on to their competitive advantage therefore protection of intellectual property is increasingly essential.

   

 
9.45 am Protect Today, Secure Your Future with Symantec
    Alvin Ow, Senior Director, Systems Engineering, APJ
  Symantec Corporation
   

Managing and protecting every device in an enterprise isn’t easy. Whether they are protecting the endpoints -- smartphone, desktop, laptops or servers -- or protecting mail servers and gateways, many organizations lack the visibility and control to effectively protect information as it travels throughout the distributed networks. What’s more, many organizations have used a patchwork or approach by adding various technologies from different vendors in an attempt to solve the problem.

10.30 am Achieving Optimal Security in a World of Uncertainty - Re-establising Control of Your End-points
Alan Bentley, Vice President Vulnerability Management Solutions, SBU
Lumension Security
Data Protection is high on the agenda right now; but also understanding the risk resulting from the presence of vulnerabilities and managing those vulnerabilities is becoming equally important.Traditional approaches used in providing secrurity of endpoints have commonly been based on the fact that you need to know what the threat is before you can prevent it from impacting your network. In a world of uncertainty, the concepts of trusted computing and least privilege user access have been forgotton. This leaves the door open to data leakage through a wide array of malware and misuse of peripheral devices. This seminar examines the benefits of taking a positive approach to security, by defining what is allowed rather than what should be denied and simply denying the unknown by default. It will explore how to apply this approach in a typical large environment by first quantifying what activity is taking place prior to defining and enforcing an acceptable usage policy.
 

 
11.00 am Web Security: Web 2.0 Hacking Incidents on the Rise
    Mark Tan, Senior Sales Engineer
  McAfee
   

With Cybercrime on the rise and one in ten web sites hosting some form of malware, it’s not surprising that nearly 70 percent of organizations believe that content security is an important initiative. McAfee’s Web security portfolio enables organizations to deliver the safest, most productive, compliant, cost-effective, and agile infrastructure possible for managing employee web access, and protecting your network and web sites from targeted attacks by malware and cyber criminals. At the same time, you can monitor and control web surfing to ensure compliance with acceptable use policies and prevent loss of sensitive data.
