Dealing with data is the bedrock of a comprehensive IT security strategy

Delivering a data security strategy you can trust

Our high-level, interactive web seminar explores best practice for securing vital enterprise data

When IT managers are being asked to cut costs in the downturn, sometimes data security takes a back seat – but now must not be a time to lose focus on this vital area. In a recession, electronic fraud and organised crime increase, the threat from disgruntled ex-employees becomes more acute, and even the most diligent of staff can make mistakes under pressure.

A comprehensive data security strategy looks at more than just traditional solutions such as anti-virus and firewalls; it encompasses in-depth control over identity and access management, encryption, internal audit, information sharing with customers and partners, and management of the wider IT infrastructure. There are so many factors to consider that reducing complexity and risk is equally vital. But how do you make sure every aspect is covered?

In this Computing web seminar, in association with Oracle, we examine the tools, technologies and best practices essential to delivering a comprehensive, holistic data security strategy. Our panel of experts will discuss the latest trends, and answer your questions on this vital topic.
