Evolve Your Role. Optimize Value.
Protecting Your Business in Tough Times
Information Security is evolving fast, but the economy has toughened and IT Security budgets may soon feel the squeeze. However, the Gartner Information Security Summit shows how protecting businesses at a time like this may be the perfect opportunity to optimize value for the organization. The Summit focuses on the IT security professional --- how to evolve their role within their organization, thereby optimizing their value and at the same time enhancing their skill set/knowledge base in order to better protect the business in tough economic times.
The Summit will focus on which tools, technologies and management practices are needed to run a security operation that's efficient, safe and economical. Our team of analysts will explore the technologies critical to the network, offer guidance on keeping data and applications requirement-ready and secure, examine privacy policies and privacy protection tools and consider emerging trends and new Federal initiatives regarding cyberspace.
