Photos from the event:

We'll be posting a number of keynotes and sessions recorded at SC World Congress to a brand new section of the site, SCWC 24/7. An online community for information security pros, this virtual environment offers up loads of advice and guidance on how to thwart cyberthieves who take advantage of the countless vulnerabilities that plague all organizations' networks. In addition to audio and video recordings from SC World Congress, as well as other materials shared during last month's live conference and expo, we also will host a virtual event on SCWC 24/7 each month, which will be focused around a pertinent subject that you, as an IT security professional, face on a regular basis. This is a completely free, content-rich offering to keep you informed of the newest developments in the industry -- that is, until next year's SC World Congress hits New York City for its third year running.
