The success of Software-as-a-service (SaaS) Cloud-based processes have fast become the next-generation SOA solutions for a number of today’s applications. Corporate acceptances of Cloud-based processes have moved beyond CRMs and Web Portals toward more traditional core business applications.

The introduction of these approaches into the traditional enterprise has definite business advantages, but also some serious governance, compliance and security implications. The "virtual" nature of Cloud removes many of the physical work-flow and control points to contain sensitive information. This session will provide details on the impact of Cloud on information security and the data-centric solutions for specific use-cases.

Takeaway Points:

·         What are the information risks in moving to the Cloud?

·         How can sensitive information be used within the Cloud?

·         What are the data-centric solutions for isolation of information in a Cloud?

One of the most effective ways to protect against application exploits is to implement security patches within 48 hours of release across your entire organization. Sound impossible? Join us for this discussion on patch management best practices, industry benchmarks, recent analyst reports, and ROI metrics to help "sell" the project to upper management. We'll also explore some of the pitfalls that may be preventing you from achieving your patch management and application security goals..

Corporations today must face the fact that user requirements and job roles aren’t identical.  Different groups use different systems requiring different technologies, levels of security, performance, methods of access and more.  Also, more workers today are seeking to use popular consumer products like Facebook, instant messaging, iPads, iPhones and other smart devices, as well as personal laptops while working away from the office.  To be productive and maintain a high quality work force companies must meet these challenges.  This session will address how forward thinking companies are enabling the use of non-Windows and consumers devices, and delivering different types of desktops and applications to workers of all types and anywhere.

With hundreds of millions of users sharing information about their personal and professional lives and trusting anybody on their “friends” list, it’s understandable that most security professionals can’t be found on Facebook.   Threat developers and attackers use social networks as primary vector to compromise their victims, and organizations are deeply concerned about potential security issues surrounding social networks.  But tremendous amounts of information is being shared on social networks, and increasingly, private and public sector organizations are using social applications to communicate with customers, partners, and constituents.  So if social networks are more and more “how business gets done,” how should security professionals respond?  This talk will explore the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with social networks on behalf of the security professional.
