Keys for Establishing an End-to-End Security Strategy

A successful end-to-end security strategy must bend to accommodate the realities of working with external partners and contractors without breaking your data security priorities. Drafting an effective security game plan involves shoring up your application end points, bringing external services under proper management, and providing for secure channels for data that must flow through your firm's network and physical perimeter.

IBM Sponsor Presentation:
IBM Security Strategy Business-Driven Security

Over the last several years, we’ve all read about the many security breaches that have plagued organizations world wide. This is clearly a big problem, and businesses, large and small, have been spending considerable resources protecting themselves against these routine security breaches.

There is no such thing as 100% security. There is no Return without Risk. Security involves trade-offs, with cost, user experience, and process complexity. To make the right trade-offs, organizations need to align IT security with their business objectives, allocate risk across domains, and enforce the appropriate security level in each area in light of business opportunities, threats, and vulnerabilities. This is business-driven security: orchestrating and fine-tuning policies across the enterprise to maximize business success.

This presentation will “simplify the complexity”. Using the IBM Security Framework, organizations can manage risk end-to-end across the IT environment. A better risk perspective allows organizations to drive to a more efficient controls set that not only provides more rapid understanding of the business impact of IT events, but allows firms to take out potentially millions of dollars worth of costs through simplification and automation of manual processes.

Endpoint Security: Shoring up Your Client-Side Vulnerabilities

Securing browsers — SaaS is ideal for many small and medium enterprises because the software provider handles the operation, maintenance, support and upgrades of commercial software programs. While SaaS applications hosted, they rely on the proper configuration of client-side Web browsers to operate securely.

Securing client OS — The perimeter has dissolved. Precious corporate data rides around the world on multiple machines, connecting too many different networks. Businesses need to sort out what strategies to follow - to harden the machines to limit their exposure and to secure the data to keep out prying eyes.
