Samsung Business sponsors ITWeb Security Summit 2015
Samsung Electronics South Africa has announced its Diamond sponsorship of the ITWeb Security Summit 2015, to be held from 26 to 28 May at Vodacom World, Midrand. Guests will experience three days of expert presentations and workshops, supported by the latest technologies and information around cyber security.
"The Summit offers an excellent platform for Samsung to showcase our enterprise-ready solutions and engage in meaningful conversations about the ways in which technology can help South Africa companies overcome mobile and network threats," says Paulo Ferreira, sirector of Enterprise Mobility at Samsung Electronics SA.
At the Summit, Ferreira will provide industry insights for corporate and employee liability, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Choose Your Own Device (CYOD) and containerisation, as well as other data protection technologies. Samsung is taking the opportunity to exhibit the latest version of Samsung KNOX (2.4) - an Android-based package specifically designed to enhance security of the current open source Android platform. In addition to securing the platform, KNOX 2.4 also meets enterprise application and data security requirements by creating a secure zone on the employee's device for corporate applications and data.
The ITWeb Security Summit will open with a keynote presentation of the latest trends in security and a deeper understanding of future expectations globally. Throughout the Summit, high level presenters will address topics around the specific risks and opportunities facing African Certified Information Officers (CIOs), security specialists and risk officers. The subjects covered will include governance and management, privacy and data protection.
Whether a business operates within the private or public sector, virtual threats are one of the most efficient challenges to an organisation's sustainable growth. Business operations and infrastructure are now coming under sophisticated attack on a regular basis, making the protection of these systems a key strategic priority.
"As a leader in Enterprise Mobility, Samsung is committed to continuously developing technology and software that will ensure organisations have the best level of technology available. Samsung's partnership with ITWeb offers a great opportunity to provide consumers with insight into how the enterprise mobility space is evolving and the affect this has on the businesses," concludes Ferreira.
