Security Showdown with Michael J. Miller
In the April 19 issue of PC Magazine, Michael J. Miller laid
down the gauntlet to security vendors. In his controversial
open letter to the heads of Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro,
and Zone Labs, Miller claimed that these companies weren't
living up to their promises of protecting their customers'
PCs--and he explained how they could do better. In this panel,
Miller will face the companies he criticized. Are security
vendors failing us? Or do they provide critical services that
you can't do without? Find out in this exciting panel discussion.
Speakers:: Lane Bess, President North American and GM, Consumer, Trend Micro;
Laura Yecies, VP and GM, ZoneLabs; Enrique Salem, GM, Consumer,
Symantec; Bill Kerrigan, EVP, McAfee Consumer

Mobilizing Your Business Applications
It's not enough to put a handheld into the briefcase of every manager--or a Treo in the pocket of every sales rep.
You need to get your business applications ready to work with
these and other mobile devices. Start with your email server:
How can you ensure that employees get the latest mail, when
they need it, and that it's seamlessly synchronized with their
desktop mail? Now consider calendaring, document sharing,
customer relationship management and sales force automation--which
mobile applications show the best ROI? Which are the least
complex to implement? How do you choose vendors and technologies
for mobility projects? We'll tackle all these issues, so you'll
come away from this panel smarter about how to mobilize your
own critical business apps.
