Emerging IT Security Trends

Tuesday 14th July 2009
Manchester

This event is FREE for invited IT Decision Makers.

A free seminar and networking lunch hosted by The National Computing Centre and Redstone Managed Solutions.

This seminar explores emerging security technology trends, looking at how the UK is, or isn’t learning from security technology developments. In the next two to five years, emerging technological and social trends will have far-reaching implications for enterprise security.

This seminar outlines the fundamental technology trends organisations can expect to see in the next few years, the catalysts behind those trends and the ways in which technology can help organisations strategically balance risk with opportunity. As the pace of globalisation picks up, traditional boundaries continue to disappear, melting before the relentless pace of 24x7 communications and trade.

In this new global reality, “open for business” can mean pooling resources and sharing sensitive information among organisations are the de facto costs of admission to the global economy. The line between participation and isolation can also mark the line of opportunity and risk. Now more than ever, we rely on our business systems and automated policies to guard that line — to root out the threats, to safeguard our intellectual property, to protect our reputations and privacy.

With the emergence of each new technology, the line can shift just a bit. As we rush to exploit the opportunities, determined insiders and outsiders may seek to exploit vulnerabilities. Consequently, the potential of emerging technologies marks a fundamental change in how organisations should approach the accompanying security challenges.

To gain a perspective on the security challenges organisations will face, the following questions should be considered:

  • What fundamental technology trends are expected to impact organisations in the next two to five years?
  • What strategic drivers should serve as catalysts for change?
  • And how can organisations position themselves to profit from the myriad opportunities while managing the risk that inevitably accompanies them?

The event will be hosted and chaired by NCC and will include:

  • James Rendell - IBM ISS UK & Ireland Technical Manager
  • Daniel Dresner – NCC Head of Information Assurance
  • Case Studies – a focus on real business challenges and solutions

Join us at this highly topical and interactive seminar.
