Virtual Trade Show: Dealing with Insider Threats
Sponsors: Dark Reading and InformationWeek
Date/Time: Wednesday, July 15th @ 2:45 pm EST
Description: Session 2: Good Cop Or Big Brother? Finding The Right Way To Monitor Employee Behavior
In today’s world of sensitive data and growing insider threats, corporations have little choice but to monitor employee activity. What’s the best way to do this monitoring effectively - without raising the ire of end users and top executives? In this discussion panel, our experts discuss strategies and technologies for employee monitoring, and the relative merits of each. They offer some tips on how unproductive user activity - such as downloading music or watching video - may lead to security threats, and they outline some of the warning signs that may indicate malicious behavior. The panel will also tackle issues of employee privacy, and how end user monitoring can be done in a way that protects the business without making users feel like they are under a magnifying glass.  Register Now

Webcast: Data & Identify Theft: Keeping sensitive data out of the wrong hands
Sponsors: PricewaterhouseCoopers
Date/Time: Tuesday, November 18th @ 1 pm EST
Description: The risk of data and identity theft is on the rise.  Greater data mobility and collaboration between global networks have made information systems easier to infiltrate.  Regulatory compliance alone won’t arm businesses against increasingly sophisticated breaches of sensitive information.

Data loss can be devastating and risks are substantial.  These risks include compromise of company IT systems, direct financial impacts from investigations and customer lawsuits, erosion of brand reputation, loss of customers, government fines and regulatory mandates.

Having strong data safeguards and the right security strategy in place can help secure a company’s reputation, competitiveness, and financial well-being.  An effective solution provides transparency over data use, controls sensitive data, and reduces the likelihood and costs of a data breach.

Please join PricewaterhouseCoopers’ principal, Fred Rica, as he discusses how to keep sensitive data out of the wrong hands.  Register Now
