About the Security Management Virtual Tradeshow:
Take Back Control: How to be Secure in a Zero-Day Attack World
Thursday February 22, 2007

In today's world of botnet and zero-day attacks that appear with little to no warning, security must be top of mind for CEOs, CIOs, CFOs and IT decision-makers. Executives know that for security to be truly effective, it must be built around an in-depth security strategy that spans all the systems, networks and applications that make up the entire enterprise. And the only way to create this level of defense is to master new emerging security technologies that empower IT organizations to take back control.

Business executives need a comprehensive strategy that integrates the best security technology with carefully defined security policies and practices. This sought after strategy addresses data and physical security, office workers, mobile computing and access by business partners. Facilities, networks, servers, databases, and mobile devices must also be secured individually and covered by remote backup systems for disaster recovery. Technology is important, but it's not enough. Enterprise security strategies must encompass technology, people, policies, processes, compliance regulations, risk management and education. Any comprehensive security strategy requires buy-in from IT, user departments and top executives to ensure that the strategy both serves and protects the business.

In the absence of an integrated strategy, a company faces the consequences from a breached database, stolen information or a missing laptop, including the glaring media spotlight that costs businesses money, credibility and customers. Business executives don't want to be the next ones in that spotlight.

With so much at stake, c-level executives and senior IT leaders need up-to-the-minute guidance on how to proactively avoid these hazards. The Ziff Davis Security Management Virtual Tradeshow is specifically designed to address these issues. At this one-day online event, you will get practical, expert advice that you can implement in your business immediately, including the following:

• Dealing with major information security challenges facing your company
• Developing a comprehensive, effective security policy and enforcement program that's part of an enterprisewide risk management strategy
• Creating security awareness and education programs for employees
• Preventing and detecting cyberattacks
