As technology permeates every functional area of a business and more staff members assume the role of knowledge worker, organisations must contend with new threats and vulnerabilities. At the same time, organisations must balance the need to allow workers the freedom to leverage the most powerful aspects of technology, such as mobility, sharing and collaboration.

IT Security Workshop: All too often IT security is viewed as a necessary evil, if not as an outright barrier to doing business. Changing that perception requires certain finesse in designing and implementing these types of solutions. It means applying granular, rather than crude security controls. The goal of the workshop is to facilitate a solution provider's transformation into a trusted IT security advisor. Attendees learn to gauge the impact of emerging trends on their customers' businesses, to explore ways to facilitate meaningful conversations around security and to leverage those conversations in the design and implementation of appropriate IT solutions.
