In an ever-changing highly competitive business environment, companies need to comply with various legal frameworks, corporate governance and security management to ensure that they mitigate risks.

NETCB, a network collaboration and compliance management specialist company, will be hosting a range of free seminars across the African continent in conjunction with its partner and global enterprise software company, NetIQ.

NETCB provides solutions that help people collaborate securely in their businesses. Embracing social networking integrated with mobile technology, NETCB has a range of solutions to solve collaboration, document and records management needs, and the security provisioning and management of these solutions.

The company's CEO, Cobus Burgers said that managing business IT infrastructure has become incredibly complex. "Organisations today are increasingly focused on governance, risk management and compliance (GRC); it means having strong, consistent controls over who has access, and being able to prove it."

How to mitigate risk

Industry experts will present various methods on how organisations can mitigate the risk around security, corporate governance and management of workloads within the data centre.

"Come learn about the latest technologies on how to manage and simplify management of security and governance within your organisation. By attending this seminar, we will show you how NetIQ and NETCB can help you to mitigate these risks and challenges and simplify how you need to manage all these aspects to take control," he explained.

The following areas of compliance will be covered:

Know your security events and how they relate;

Automate the management of user accounts on all your systems;

Know who has access to what and how it was authorised;

Manage the workloads in your data centre; and

How do we get this to work at your organisation so that "You Are in Control"?
