SC World Congress Offers Security Tips and Training for 2009

(Nov 25, 2008)-- SC World Congress, the pre-eminent conference and expo for IT security professionals, will provide a first look at security products and services to protect enterprises in 2009. Security knows no economic boundaries and remains a top concern for governments and enterprises around the world. SC World Congress will offer security professionals two days of training from corporate executives holding down the front line against security attacks.

IT security professionals will find, at SC World Congress, expert insight and advice they can use given the daunting challenge of safeguarding their organizations' customer data and intellectual property, complying with a long list of regulatory demands, and staying abreast of new threats and even newer applications. Over two days of plenary sessions, targeted panels and an instructive expo floor, the SC World Congress will feature actionable, inside information that IT security and corporate management need to safeguard critical company assets from threats such as malware, targeted attacks, careless -- or malicious -- employees, and even careless executives.

At the conference, attendees from all the major verticals -- such as finance, health care, government, and more -- will gain insight from industry leaders and fellow security professionals as SC World Congress explores the need-to-know topics that help IT security professionals do their jobs better.

SC World Congress offers free access to the exposition floor, which will feature the latest from leading IT security vendors, as well as free plenary sessions about: Global Data Threats, International Response to Cyber Threats, A Policy Management View From the Top, Cyber Security from the Eyes of an Executive, and a free panel presentation from The Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency. Representatives Jim Langevin (D-RI) and Michael McCaul (R-TX); Lieutenant General Harry D. Raduege Jr. (USAF, Ret); chairman of the Center for Network Innovation at Deloitte & Touche LLP; and Marcus Sachs, executive director for government affairs, national security policy, Verizon Communications, will present the finalized plan that this commission will be using to advise President-elect Obama on the most critical cyber security issues facing the nation.

Conference attendees will hear from industry luminaries charged with protecting our nation, our financial institutions and our highly confidential medical records. Leaving behind the turmoil of the financial markets, speakers from the financial services industry will share their expertise in protecting the information of millions of people and maintaining IT governance. Leaders of health care organizations will also participate in the conference, offering their first-hand experience in complying with HIPAA and protecting patient data. Attendees at SC World Congress will also learn how businesses and government agencies like the FBI, Scotland Yard, Interpol and the Secret Service, police and combat today's cybercriminals, who are fast-becoming as unbridled as yesterday's lawless gunfighters -- but with much more sophistication and better resources.
