Security summit 2011

International experts head for SA to discuss securing enterprise IT in a connected world.

At the 6th annual ITWeb Security Summit international and local IT security experts will discuss hot topics like Stuxnet, WikiLeaks and data privacy in an increasingly connected world.

The ITWeb Security Summit is South Africa's premier ICT security event. It includes a conference, expo and workshops to inform business managers, CIOs and chief IT security officers about the current and future information security threat landscape.

This year, the event will focus on security in an increasingly connected world, featuring cloud security, web services and online security, as well as the growing trend to use malicious code for industrial espionage and sabotage.

On the agenda are experts from powerhouses like SalesForce, Google and Zynga Game Network, with practical insights coming from leading financial institutions such as Nedbank, Standardbank, Barclays, Absa, and the Co-operative Bank of Kenya.

Additional highlights at this event will be:

A one-day workshop on governance, risk and compliance in public and private clouds presented by Dan Crisp, Strategic Director, Global of Operational Risk Initiatives at Barclays Bank, Caroline Wong of Zynga and Lynn Terwoerds of the Cloud Security Alliance. The international panel of experts will examine the business and IT processes, which need to be governed in public and private clouds, including the top threats and mitigations with a specific focus on PCI DSS requirements.
An innovative expo area offering hands-on demonstrations of the latest information security solutions from leading global anti-virus and information security vendors.
A community hub where infosec bloggers will congregate.
