A Virtual Conference Presented by Computerworld and InfoWorld

Computerworld and InfoWorld's Security Directions Virtual Conference brings together leaders in IT security to discuss key issues, trends, and technologies emerging in the information security space in 2009.

Attend the Security Directions virtual event, with sessions available live on December 16, 2008 and available on-demand from December 17 though March 17, 2009. Also — check out the exhibitor floor, chat with vendors, and your peers, download valuable assets such as white papers and strategy guides, all from the convenience of your computer!

Topics that will be covered in this online event include:

• Best Practices around Data Leak Prevention (DLP). DLP is on everyone's minds these days because of all the increased attention on the need to protect the Data itself as opposed to the networks.
• What exactly is security due diligence and why does it matter? In other words, how to do your homework to prove that you're covered in case you get sued? Security analysts have for some time been warning about the fact that IT security is destined for the court room and companies need to be able to demonstrate due diligence to prevent costly fines and class actions.
• Cloud security and privacy. This session will cover how to ensure your cloud provider has the best security possible - what to require in your contract, etc.
• End-point security - rising gas prices have caused an increase in the number of remote workers, which leads to more security issues. There are more end-points to secure in a telecommuting scenario... how to do it and not miss a beat.
• Incident response and management/breach best practices... if there is a breach, how best to handle it? Who to call first? What to do and not do? How to maintain evidence for the forensics team? This session explores the critical steps in making sure you are covered in case this worst nightmare can become a reality for your organization.
