IDC Asia Pacific is delighted to present
"Asia/Pacific Security & Continuity
Conference 2007", to be held from 17 April 2007 to 27 June 2007 in 13 cities across the Asia Pacific. The
theme of this key industry event is:
 Battling sophisticated threats: Security
strategies for the resilient enterprise
For many years, IT security discussions
were dominated by virus outbreaks, keeping
script kiddies out of corporate networks,
and basically having updated backups. But
today's threat landscape has changed. Corporate
security threats have become more multifaceted,
networks have become more open, and hackers
are becoming targeted, better and faster.
To make matters worse, the roles of IT
infrastructure engineers and security managers
have become broader with increased responsibilities.
Their many stakeholders have different demands:
- Senior management wants to hear about
practices that contribute to the firm's
success.
- External customers, suppliers, and partners
want protection as well.
- Compliance officers want to move beyond
satisfying legal regulations and focus
on internal intellectual property protection
and other issues. And the costs of these
efforts are increasing!
These decision makers need to put a security
strategy in place to make the enterprise
resilient and prepare for tomorrow's challenges
in a cost-effective manner.
Critical questions you should consider?
In view of the market's needs, comprehensive
security solutions have appeared in the
market over the past 1-2 years, offering
holistic protection. What exactly do these
solutions include? What are the features
and benefits to look out for? Are there
any pitfalls?
Business agility is another key objective
in recent times, and it means a demand for
constant change in services and processes
delivered by IT. Change means instability
and the potential for service disruption
and security exposure. What are the security
strategies that will keep businesses up
and running?
Security and continuity issues are vital
and need to be addressed in order for the
enterprise to be resilient and agile. Indeed,
the security software market in Asia/Pacific
(Ex Japan) is forecast to grow with CAGR
of 16% for the next few years to hit US$1.7bn
in 2010.
