A Globalised Business + IT Security = ?

The cornerstone of any effective IT infrastructure is a properly implemented security policy, defending against both internal and external threats to the organisation. An effective security strategy however is often complex and multi-layered, in order to adequately tackle attack vectors that change and grow more and more sophisticated all the time.

Factor in the risks to the business from insider threats, as well as new opportunities for security breaches opening up daily, particularly with the advent of social media within the business, and increasingly more mobile and remote working methods - it becomes clear that an organisation's security strategy is vital to the over-arching success of the IT infrastructure - and the business as a whole.

Panellists in this discussion will therefore consider:
- Where to start - What do you need to actually secure and control?
- Are we unnecessarily protective of our infrastructure - Is security over-played?
- Effective governance, risk and compliance
- Assessing and understanding the risks to your organisation
- Understanding the types of threats that exist to the business
- Where are they coming from?
- Extending and adequately defending the organisation
- What risks does an increasingly mobile workforce pose to the organisation?
- How to build security into your IT infrastructure?
