Make no mistake, consumerisation of the workplace is one genie that is not about to go back into the bottle.

The rate of advance of consumer IT and the divergence between personal devices and the sort of beige boxes that are typically used in the workplace are both set to increase. This means that restrict-and-ban approaches to locking down the network are doomed to failure. Worse, they may be counterproductive to the business. Instead, IT teams must look at security in a different way, developing a holistic model that encompasses policy, education, technology and enforcement.

During this web seminar we look at each of these aspects with a view to coming up with a best practice guide. We will also be showing you how you can gauge the maturity of your security systems, enabling you to plug any holes before your precious data starts to leak through them.

Speakers Include:

Jez Clement, Head of IT Security, Towergate Partnership
Alan Bentley, Senior Vice President of International Sales, Lumension
Stuart Sumner, Chief Reporter, Computing
David Mcclelland, Consulting Editor, Computing

Does Google know too much about you?

Google's linked data policy, which came into effect on March 1, allows the company to collect information about its users across all its products, services and websites and store it in one place. This has been criticised by organisations ranging from CNIL to Microsoft, all of whom have expressed concerns that it's difficult to tell which data Google collects and how it's used. Now the Information Commissioner's Office is investigating whether Google's privacy policy is compliant with UK law. Are you worried that Google knows too much about you?
