With the advent of affordable and reliable networking
technologies, there has over the last few years been a seismic
shift in the way that firms deploy their digital assets.
Rather than keeping a repository of key data available for the
select few, businesses have realised that rolling information out
to as many interested parties as possible is the way to success.
Indeed, information communication has become both an enabler and a
way for your company to achieve competitive advantage.
Yet whilst your company may have already extended the perimeter
of its business and as flexible working prompts more and more
employees to access corporate data from outside the firewall, your
firm and its interests may be unwittingly exposed to threats and
attacks. Even if central databases are secure, it may be the case
that the mobile devices that your company uses are not.
So the challenge remains: how do you achieve the fine balance
between ensuring that there is truly free access to sensitive
information and applications from both inside and outside the
firewall, without sacrificing security? This webinar will aim to
educate and inform professionals such as you as to how to do
it.
The webinar will look at the challenges facing IT managers and
security professionals, looking at how you can identify the typical
threats and vulnerabilities the extended enterprise will present
and what types of technological solutions are available for you to
address them. It will examine what processes should be undertaken
in order to deploy the optimum technological solutions and reveal
the common pitfalls in such deployments, and then offer ways in
which you can avoid such problems. It will also present a real-life
case study drawing on the experience of a fellow peer who, like
you, is dealing with such challenges on a daily basis.
IT managers and security professionals like you will be
increasingly asked to manage a fine balance in offering
technological solutions to profound business problems. This webinar
will allow you to square this circle.
Format:
5 minute introduction followed by three 10-minute presentations
