This year’s Security Forum Forum 2010 will focus on: 1) evaluating the maturity and effectiveness of the security organization; 2) laying out a road map for architectural optimization and innovation; and 3) ensuring that the right skills, incentives, and metrics are in place for the long-term success of the security program.
Key questions that this forum will answer:

  • How do you measure the maturity and the effectiveness of the security and risk management practice and build a road map for the future?
  • How do you build a data security architecture to protect information no matter who has it and where it rests?
  • How can you apply enterprise risk management disciplines to information security?
  • How do you embed security throughout the network, not just on the perimeter?
