Upcoming Webinar
Protecting company information: Why, How and What if?
In association with Lumension
Date: Thursday 4th September 2008, 3pm UK time
Duration: 60 minutes
The need to protect your company information has never been higher. A constant flurry of data breaches, where important company information has been stolen, lost or compromised, are regularly made the headlines.
The cost to recover data after a breach is only the beginning. And as recently highlighted by the ISC2 information security global workforce study, the cost of reputation and brand equity is much higher.
Company information is not only at risk from well-funded criminal organisations with financial motive, but also from insider activity - both malicious and accidental.
This Webinar will:
- Highlight the greatest threats to your valuable information.
- Discuss the impact to business if valuable information is compromised.
- Advise how to protect against information loss.
- Offer practical advice for protecting against threats via policy enforcement and whitelisting.
This Webinar is for security and business professionals who are responsible for protecting confidential and sensitive information as well as for maintaining policy and/or regulatory compliance with regards to protecting critical business or customer information.
