BMI-T/IDC`s SA first IT Security Roadshow in South Africa will set a new standard for a focused, subject-specific event in the region; aimed at helping users find security solutions that match their business needs and IT infrastructure.
"IT security is far more complex than building firewalls and installing virus protection," says Roy Blume, IT Research Manager for BMI-T/IDC SA. "While these are essential components of any solution, businesses must also consider things like staff training, wireless access, identity theft and management, direct attacks on desktops, and Web applications in addition to attacks on routers and firewalls. Today enterprises need an integrated matrix of protection and an approach that includes all of these things."
One of the primary goals of the BMI-T/IDC IT Security Roadshow is to generate awareness about the role of IT in security and goes hand-in-hand with promoting safe and transparent business practices. Both are essential in generating the trust and confidence necessary to expand operations nationally, regionally and globally. Contributing to this mission are BMI-T/IDC SA`s partners in the region: HP, Symantec, CA, Cisco, Faritec, Ciphertrust, Oracle, Utimaco, ISS, NetIQ and Cornastone.
