  • Security Beyond the (Fire)wall Jun 19 2013 2:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    Only 22% of data breaches are as a result of an external attack on corporate servers . In the vast majority of cases, breaches involve the inadvertent mishandling of information by insiders or third party partners. For example: a confidential document is accidentally sent to the wrong person, an employee drops files into a consumer-grade file sharing solution to access them on holiday, or an organisation terminates a relationship with a partner or supplier after having shared proprietary information with them.

    Enabling your staff to work remotely, on a multitude of devices, and on unsecured networks is essential for many 21st century businesses. However, such a model also has very specific risks, particularly for financial services, life sciences and other IP-intensive industries.

    This webcast addresses the technological challenges of maintaining full control of your most sensitive information - even once it goes beyond the firewall - while maintaining the freedom and flexibility necessary to allow your staff and other stakeholders to work as efficiently as possible.

    Speakers include:
    Stewart Room, Partner, Field Fisher Waterhouse
    Bola Rotibi, Founding Member, (ISC)2 Application Security Advisory Board
    Richard Anstey, EMEA CTO, Intralinks
  • 2013’s Invisible Network Threats: Identify And Respond Jun 11 2013 2:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    In a recent SC survey, when asked ‘Do you think your current network is secure?’ 43% of IS professionals said Not Sure.

    At first glance, this appears a surprisingly high figure – but a closer look at today’s threat matrix soon tells us why. Technology developments such as multi-point cloud solutions, consumerisation, BYOD uptake and even Windows 8 are a major headache in network security for IT leaders. Plus organisations face a growing number of ‘invisible threats’ that they are often not aware of, and which present a very real risk to corporate security.

    So what can be done to identify, monitor, respond and report these network security threats in real time?

    SC’s latest webcast will share expert advice, practical testing regimes and examples of proven results in overcoming invisible threats. Insights include:

    -Detailed analysis of the evolving threat landscape including the top 3 network security threats you don’t know about
    -The knowledge you need to know when choosing a bespoke unified threat management solution for your business
    -Real life examples showing why a rigorous, real-time testing environment is needed to make well-informed buying decisions
    -Take-home advice on how to make sure the product you use protects against network security threats
  • Employee File Sharing: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Jun 4 2013 2:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    In a recent SC Survey of information security professionals 99% of those asked said it was ‘important’ that their organisation has secure file sharing. But 50% said they had ‘no real visibility’ of how data is being sent within and outside the company.

    That said, even IT security professionals resort to using insecure file transfer systems so they can get their job done, with many saying they have used the following to transfer sensitive information:

    · Email – 82%
    · USB device – 64%
    · Consumer cloud service (e.g. Dropbox) – 28%

    If IT professionals – who know the risks – are prepared to use such systems, what are employees not versed in security prepared to do?

    Tune in to hear our experts discuss these and the other quite surprising results, plus a look at how best to protect files shared inside and outside your organisation, while benefiting from the productivity boost such sharing can allow.

    Speakers:
    Craig Goodwin, Director of Information Security, Monster.co.uk
    Tim Burnett, ISO, Atos
    Jeff Whitney, VP Global Marketing, Ipswitch File Transfer
  • The Human Factor: Why IT Security is more than just skin deep May 28 2013 2:00 pm UTC 60 mins
    With SC’s annual conference taking place later in the year, we have invited some of the speakers to run the rule over a few of the key human factors affecting information security risk.

    •Where do human factors rank in relation to other security risks?
    •Is it feasible to identify key human risk factors and if so, how can they be successfully integrated into an IT risk matrix?
    •Is it true that people value the security of data differently to tangible goods? If so, what can be done to change perceptions?
    •To what extent is IT security seen as a board level issue - what steps can be taken to effectively communicate IT risk to the Board?
    •Train the trainer – when it comes to communicating, does your average IT security professional err towards Martin Luther King or Hal from 2001? How important are communication skills to the IT security professional
    •Spread the love – or at least, the message. Why do staff consistently ignore IT security messages and what can you do, to hit the message home?
    •Pa$$word5! Digestible take home tips you can share with your staff on how to choose and remember multiple secure passwords

  • Data Protection in 2013 - Regulation Versus Reality? Recorded: May 2 2013 54 mins
    It has been a year since the European Commission (EC) published the first draft of its updated data protection law but critics have claimed the regulation is overly prescriptive and out of touch with the rapid change in digital communication (SC Magazine Online, January 2013).
    SC's upcoming editorial webcast will:

    - Take a hard look at 2012's data breaches, trends and developments to see if the regulations are realistic to cope with today's threats

    - Reveal how the regulations affect your particular business and how you need to adapt everything from employee behaviour to business processes to avoid scrutiny

    - Ask why the same data protection breaches stemming from human error are still being made, and what can we do about it?

    - With data breaches continually on the rise due to BYOD, cloud platforms and social networks setting such a furious pace of change - what does the rest of 2013 hold in terms of staying compliant and ultimately keeping your data protected?

    Speakers include:
    Richard Thomas CBE, former Information Commissioner; consultant at law firm Hunton & Williams
    Jonathan Armstrong, Partner at Duane Morris
    Mike Hurst, Officer - Economic Fraud Unit at The Metropolitan Police
