Track 1: Policy / Management

Within organizations, security fits a business function. Tasks associated with business management and policy-related guidelines take up a significant amount of attention for CISOs. This track helps security professionals prioritize, better understand and provide guidance around important topics, such as PCI, DRM, security awareness and privacy. These timely topics will be of value to security personnel at all levels.

Track 2: Emerging Threats / Risk Planning

Emerging threats and risk planning go hand in hand, as you can't map out your business risk without a firm understanding of the wide variety of threats faced by your organization. Sessions in this track will focus on the risk planning and mitigation theme, as well as the latest emerging threats faced by organizations, and the best practices implemented to thwart them. Topics discussed will include secure coding, offshoring, vendor risk assessments, as well as dangerous attack vectors. This track is of value to all in the profession, but particularly to those needing to know more about what the bad guys are up to.

Track 3: Editor's Choice

Given the constant change in the environment, every security line of business needs to be flexible. The Editor's Choice track addresses that change with sessions focusing on extremely timely issues as seen through the eyes of SC Magazine's Editor-in-Chief Illena Armstrong. In addition, hear from a number of the latest innovators in the security industry discussing international cybercrime, breach PR best practices, and how to keep current with issues and the latest trends. This track is intended for all in the industry wanting to stay on top of the latest security issues faced by their organizations.

Track 4: Technical

This track offers a deeper dive for the more technical security and IT professionals at the conference. More emphasis will be given on technical aspects of threats and vulnerabilities, as well as relevant solutions, as opposed to the more executive focused content in the other three tracks.

Outsourcing Security Pros/Cons
-- Tom Brennan, Global Board Member of OWASP Foundation/Security Evangelist, WhiteHat Security

Security as a service, managed security services, security in the cloud, hosted security services -- are you baffled by the myriad  ways security vendors are packaging their services? Would it be easier to simply keep security in-house? Possibly, but in an economic climate where outsourcing and offshoring are the norm and every security dollar is meticulously scrutinized, it pays to have a thorough grasp of these offerings before defining a security sourcing strategy. This session defines and analyzes the options available to better enable decision-makers to make the right choice for their organization.
