"Next-Gen Security: Defending Against Enterprise Threats From A New Era"

Event Overview


IDC Australia is proud to present "SecurityVision 2008," This cutting edge industry event will be held across 14 major cities in Asia Pacific focusing on the key theme - Next-Gen Security: Defending Against Enterprise Threats From A New Era.

Traditionally, new technology adoption usually start at the workplace spreading across corporations and businesses 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.

This prevalent trend can be observed from Blackberry, smartphone or iPhone wielding executives who demand that the enterprise infrastructure support their latest gadgets, to online enthusiasts bringing their blogging, social networking and file sharing activities to the workplace. Even hardworking employees are hopping on the technology bandwagon and using thumb drives to bring their unfinished work home (unwittingly causing a breach in a whole myriad of privacy and security regulations!)

With the advent of popular technology like Wikis, RSS feeds, mashups, Web 2.0 and other interactive technologies infiltrating the workplace the risk of security breaches 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.

But in many companies, it would be against corporate culture to simply ban the devices or to block employees from accessing consumer services. At the same time, companies can't depend wholly on policy to maintain the level of security they need.

Are present security infrastructures in the corporate environment designed to handle these new threats? With many enterprises contemplating adopting and implementing RFID, ubiquitous computing and SOAs, across their business, which have machines interacting with machines, how do we equip our enterprises with the right tools and solutions to defend against these New Era Threats?

According to IDC data, the Australia and New Zealand security solutions market reached over US$1 billion in 2007 and the market is set to continue to grow at a CAGR of 11.8% to reach over US$2 billion by 2012. Enterprises across Australia are definitely spending on security, but are they spending wisely, and future-proofing their IT security investments?

At the Australia Security Vision Conference 2008, IDC analysts, top solutions providers, experienced partners and industry gurus will share their insights, showcase the latest offerings and solutions in the market, as well as answer the enterprises’ most pressing questions!


Key areas that will be addressed at this conference will include:

 

Endpoint Security
Network Security
Web security
Compliance and IT Governance
Information Protection and Control
Security and vulnerability management
Common gaps in security strategies


Back due to popular demand, Chris Gatford from Pure Hacking will present from the world of professional a hacker and demonstrate some of his experiences.

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.
