Battling sophisticated threats: Security strategies for the resilient enterprise
    Katherine Chan
Research Manager, Services, IDC Malaysia
      IT security discussions were once dominated by virus outbreaks, keeping script kiddies out of corporate networks, and having updated backups. But today's threat landscape has changed. Threats have become more multifaceted, networks have become more open, and hackers have become more targeted, better and faster. To make matters worse, the roles of IT infrastructure engineers and security managers have become broader with increased responsibilities. Senior management wants to hear about practices that contribute to the firm's success from them. External customers, suppliers, and partners want assurance that the infrastructure is well protected. IT decision makers need to put in place a security strategy to make the enterprise resilient and prepare for tomorrow's challenges in a cost-effective manner. This presentation presents the IDC Top 10 Security Predictions and highlights to the audience what to look out for across the security landscape in the near future. The speaker will also discuss the implications of the predictions and the best practices for security managers to keep the infrastructure secure and resilient.

Network Access Control - An Introduction

Clarence Phua
Country Manager, Sophos
     

Unauthorized endpoint computers pose significant security risks to organizations. Where underlying network-based enforcement is available, network access control (NAC)solutions provide detection and implementation of security policies to minimize these risks. In this presentation, Sophos will discuss how a software approach to NAC will provide protection against potential attacks arising from unauthorised access to the network.

12:45 pm
Networking lunch
  2:00 pm Identity & Access Management for an Agile and Competitive Enterprise
    Athony Ung
Business Development Manager, Asia South, CA
      Security on mission critical systems has become fundamental for business operations and data confidentiality. IT security is no longer a matter of keeping the bad guys out. Rather, security provides the foundation for business services to be run more efficiently and effectively, leading to a more competitive enterprise.
  2:30 pm Current Security Trends and Issues: The Journey Continues
    Jojo Ayson
Senior Product Manager, Microsoft
     
Like everything in IT, security issues themselves also evolve with the times. Where viruses was a main consideration in 2003, social engineering and non-technical vulnerabilities are becoming the norm. How can IT keep up when the problems arise with the users themselves? Where does technology fit in the equation? This presentation dwells on these current issues faced by companies in the Philippines today and the first steps in addressing the problem.
  3:00 pm Next Generation Approach to Securing Network
    Benjamin Teh
Sales Director, South Asia, Fortinet
  3:30 pm Join the Debate: “Security technology is all here. It's just the way we do things that are causing all the problems!”
     

The human being is often said to be the weakest link within the enterprise security infrastructure. Some even take it to the extreme saying that the human is not causing the problem. Rather, it IS the problem.

Is this really the case, or is it just a convenient sacrificial lamb to mask the inadequacy of today's security technology? Or is it that security has not really been integrated into the business workflow? Is a well-aligned process for executing the security strategy the missing keystone? Join us for a debate with the different stakeholders!

  3:45 pm End of conference
