Free Webinar and Virtual Summit on various Information Security Issues

Mobiles, PCI, that big old cloud – what’s your poison?

I know there are so many resources out there in our profession, making it hard to know where to go for the really worthwhile insights on key issues like personal devices in the workplace, PCI, cloud security etc.

As such I have spoken to a few folk to give you a list of the 3 upcoming online events in these areas that have had the most sign-ups from people like you and have pasted details below. Take a look and see what you think….

1. Webcast: PCI DSS Demystified for SMEs

Why is everything in Info Security always aimed at the big guys? No longer, thanks to this SC magazine webcast which was inspired by the spate of smaller companies being caught out recently by PCI loopholes and incurring massive reputational and financial damage as a result.

Ensure you don’t join the list by tuning in to the Barclaycard and Dell speakers at http://www.scwebcasts.tv/?btcommid=36601 .

Tune in to this SC webcast to hear realistic and practical advice to keep the mobile front secure, without hamstringing your productivity.

Application Security Intelligence

Free Online Event

Forward-thinking organizations have begun to adopt a holistic approach to securing applications rather than investing in perimeter defenses like firewalls and intrusion prevention systems.

Join on May 19th for a full day of interactive webcasts to hear leading IT security experts discuss the role of application security intelligence in enabling software security assurance programs to proactively reduce business risk across the enterprise.

About the event:

"Traditionally, organizations have responded to security threats by investing in perimeter defenses like firewalls and intrusion prevention systems. While effective in the short-term, this approach is simply a bandage that offers reactive protection only, falling short of proactively and programmatically securing the applications and assets that are the lifeblood of any modern business. Recently, some organizations have begun to adopt a holistic and strategic approach to securing their applications. Join us to hear leading software security experts discuss the role of application security intelligence in enabling software security assurance programs to proactively reduce the business risk of insecure software across the enterprise."

Presentations include:

"Application Security Intelligence: Managing Application Risk"
Roger Thornton, CTO & Founder, Fortify Software, an HP company

"Optimizing Security in Software Development: Secure at the Source"
Derek Brink, VP & Research Fellow, Aberdeen Group

"Application Security Strategy in a Mobile World"
John South, CISO, Heartland Payment Systems

"Cloud Security and Its Impact on Application Security"
Dennis Hurst, Founding Member, Cloud Security Alliance

"Addressing the Top 5 Web Application Security Threats"
Dave Wichers, OWASP Board Member & COO, Aspect Security

SC Magazine’s recent study of less-shouted-about THREATS

Risks and Rewards of Archiving!

Cloud and social media security are much discussed areas of focus within our profession but what about some of the less shouted-about threats? I thought you might be interested in SC Magazine’s recent study of some of these, which will be discussed in greater detail in 3 of their upcoming webcasts; found at http://www.scwebcasts.tv and http://www.scstudio.tv respectively.

Below is a little more info on the 3 topics to help you assess their relevance to your organisation:

THE RISKS AND REWARDS OF ARCHIVING

This webvideo is live now on SC’s site at http://www.scstudio.tv

83% of the 200 IT professionals that SC spoke to (representing both SMEs and larger enterprises) reckoned the cost of email downtime to their business to be over $500,000. This interesting SC Studio show which you can watch right now at http://www.scstudio.tv , offers some interesting pointers on one of the most effective ways to reduce this risk/cost – archiving.

Speakers: Brian Shorten, Risk and Security Manager, Cancer Research UK Giovanni Alberici, Archiving & Continuity Specialist, Symantec.cloud
