Information security is pivotal for the proficient functioning of any enterprise. Learning how to protect our informational assets is no longer a matter of choice!
Information security management involves identifying an organisation's electronic informational assets, as well as the planning and execution of programmes to ensure the information's continued availability, confidentiality and integrity.
As companies grow and develop, so does the staff complement and strategic confidential information and intellectual capital. This can include anything from personal employee files to private business plans and corporate ideas.
Improper management and control could mean that at any given time an employee can not only access private records, but also expose these files to either the public or the competition, intentionally or unintentionally.
While it is true that technological advancement has been able to assist to some extent, it is not the silver bullet for information security issues. It takes the concerted effort of IT staff, employees and management to ensure proper business continuity. Organisations need to connect with their customers, partners and suppliers, successfully expanding their corporate enterprise, while at the same time maintaining a secure access environment.
In response to this concern, marcus evans is hosting the 'Corporate IT Security' conference, on 15 and 16 October 2007 at the Park Hyatt, Johannesburg.
Throughout this conference we will deal with conventional security solutions and also establish methods to employ proactive technologies that can protect against new, unknown threats without human intervention. Leading practitioners will focus on how to implement these solutions while maintaining current security budget and preventing overstretching IT resources.
This conference will focus on:
* Executing successful risk management strategies that prioritise and mitigate security risks
* Understanding the fundamentals of e-commerce structures
* Establishing future and current trends in wireless security
* Structuring an efficient and viable identity access system
* Optimising security for e-mail and mobile devices to increase productivity and accessibility
This conference will benefit directors, general managers, heads and specialists of information security and risk, information technology, corporate security, network administration, IT compliance and audits and e-commerce.
