Patrik Bihammar, Senior Market Analyst Software
IDC Australia


The key theme of this years IDC Security Vision is "Next-Gen Security: Defending Against Enterprise Threats From A New Era". This IDC keynote presentation, by Patrik Bihammar, Senior Analyst Security ANZ, will discuss new challenges and defenses organisations need to consider to protect their "extended enterprises" against a new era of security threats.

Traditionally, new technology adoption usually start at the workplace spreading across corporations before filtering out to consumers who then adopt the technology for their personal use. Today consumer technology is fast outpacing enterprise computing, with popular consumer software and gadgetry creeping into the corporate world. With popular gadgets like iPhones, iPods and blackberries becoming coming place and the advent of Web 2.0 technology like Wikis, RSS feeds, social networking and other interactive technologies infiltrating the workplace the risk of security breaches and data leakage are now greater than before. Introducing waves of security implications that are fast becoming a real threat never before faced by IT managers in the corporate environment.

Enterprises across ANZ are definitely spending on security, but are they spending wisely, and future-proofing their IT security investments? In this keynote presentation, IDC will examine what solutions and practices are available to help organisations protect themselves against this new era of security threats, including trends and developments in Web security, data leakage protection and network access control (NAC).

rsaPreventing Data Loss: Best Practices to Identify Control and Manage Sensitive Data
Mark Pullen, Country Manager Australia & New Zealand
RSA, The Security Division of EMC

The costs attributed to data theft and loss is staggering as users have broader access to sensitive data. Through real-world case studies and best practices, enterprises can help manage data sprawl and mitigate the risk of a breach through a data security system that helps to identify, locate, classify, control and audit ever-greater volumes of data. RSA will focus on key areas including data discovery and classification, data loss prevention and encryption key management.

10:15 - 10:45am

The Future of Content Security
Adam Biviano, Premium Services Manager
Trend Micro

No longer does IT security mean fending off random attacks designed to cause service disruption or obvious damage. Today organisations face a threat which strikes at the very core of how they function. Web based threats have taken hold and are threatening the hard earned trust levels in online services which have driven productivity and customer satisfaction gains.

Adam Biviano will discuss the security threats of tomorrow and how they are likely to impact those with a strong dependency on their digital assets. Whether you are responsible for protecting SCADA systems from cyber terrorism, online services from malware infiltration, or intellectual property from disclosure, Adam’s talk will provide valuable insight which will help shape your long term strategies.

Addressing Insider Threats: Strategies for Effective Centralized Control and Visibility
Paul Granier, Worldwide Director of Sales Engineering
ArcSight, Inc


An internal security incident is one that is perpetrated by someone with levels of trust and access greater than that of an outsider. Though the majority of publicity about security breaches today seems to focus on outsider attacks, insider threats can be just as devastating to the organization as attacks from malicious outsiders and range from information leakage to sabotage. In this session, you will learn how SIEM can help you to detect, investigate, monitor and respond to insider activities and fraud control.
12:15 - 12:45pm Collaboration Security
Peter S Watson, Chief Security Advisor
Microsoft

In this information session on Collaboration Security, Peter Watson will be discussing end to end trust and what this means in terms of identity, PKI and virtualisation; what are the directions for platform security capabilities around data, voice and video; how can applications securely leverage platform capabilities and deliver end to end trust; and what still needs to be done to enable end to end trust.

Association Partners
 

The Australian Information Security Association (AISA) Incorporated was formed in 1999 and incorporated in 2001 under the name of Information Security Interest Group (ISIG) Incorporated. In 2006 a name change was introduced to reflect the professional standing of the organisation.

Branches exist in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane and Adelaide. We currently have over 500 paid members and over 500 friends on our mailing lists.

AISA is an organisation for individuals rather than companies. Because of this we can maintain a truly unbiased view of security in Australia. Our membership ranges from company CEOs through to highly skilled technical security specialists and consequently the subjects discussed at our meetings are extremely varied. AISA's success as a group is largely based on the less tangible benefits of being a member of a body of professionals. Those who join in effect get instant access to a network of professionals who are all interested in contributing to the betterment of security in Australia. We hold social functions to encourage less formal networking and provide an excellent forum for a variety of ideas to take shape.

AISA is a constantly evolving and ambitious organisation, so we are always interested to speak with people who have thoughts on how we can improve and have more impact.



 

AIIA leads the ICT industry in Australia, with almost 500 member companies that generate combined annual revenues of more than $40 billion, employ 100,000 Australians and export more than $2 billion in goods and services each year.

AIIA sets the strategic direction of the ICT industry, influences public policy, engages industry stakeholders and provides member companies with business productivity tools, advisory services and market intelligence to accelerate their business growth.
