Annual IT Security Event Featuring Mike Rothman & Charles Foley

If you made it through the past 12 months without suffering a significant breach, you can consider yourself fortunate. As the industry is bombarded with new exploits & high profile breaches, it's time to look back at what we've learned and look ahead to the trends that will surely have an impact moving forward.

Join us for this incredibly informative, surprisingly entertaining, and extremely beneficial breakfast where analyst Mike Rothman will provide an overview of the security market trends you need to pay attention to, and present a "shopping list" of core technologies you should consider to secure your environment.  Mike Rothman is the most sought after speaker on this topic today!  Mike's bold perspectives and irreverent style are invaluable as companies determine effective strategies to grapple with the dynamic security landscape.

Mike specializes in the sexy aspects of security, like protecting networks and endpoints, security management and compliance. Mike is one of THE most sought after speakers and commentators in the security business today and brings a deep background in information security.  After 20 years in and around security, he's one of the guys who "knows" where the bodies are buried" in the space! Starting his career as a programmer and networking consultant, Mike joined META Group in 1193 and spearheaded META's initial foray into information security research, Mike left META in 1998 to found SHYM Technology, a pioneer in the PKI software market, and then held VP roles at CipherTrust and TruSecure.  After getting fed up with vendor life, he started Security Incite in 2006 to provide the voice of reason in an over-hyped yet underwhelming security industry.  After a short detour at CMO and elQnetworks, Mike joined Securosis with a rejuvenated cynicism about the state of security and what it takes to survive as a security professional.

You will also hear Charles Foley of Watchful Software give a highly enlightened view of protecting your data in an perimeter-less environment. Sensitive informaiton is all too often leaked, lost and stolen, resulting from either erroneous or malicious insider actions. 90% of CIOs surveyed admitted to suffering a sensitive information breach and Global Knowledge ranks insider violations in the Top 10   Cybersecurity Threats of 2013.  Yesterday's approach of "securing the perimiter" through hardened networks is no longer enough.  Come hear Chuck's very beneficial overview of how organizations can secure and protect their data in a "perimeter-less" enterprise. Charles Foley is Chairman and CEO for Watchful Software, Inc. 

Prior to Watchful, Mr. Foley was the Chairman and CEO of TimeSight Systems, Inc., a developer of leading-edge storage and video solutiond for the physical security market.  Her served as President of Tacit Networks, a leader in Wide Area Network acceleration systems leading to their profitable acquisition by Packeteer.  Mr. Foley also served as CEO of InfiniCon Systems where he built the company to a leadership position in high performance computing; the company was acquired by QLogic.  Mr. Foley held many more high profile leadership positions and you will not want to miss his presentation!

Prior to and after the event you will have the oppportunity to engage with 5 of the most cutting edge vendors in a non-sales setting.  These folks are here to network and show you what's important, new and hot in technology today.  (You will not be bombarded with sales calls after the event.)
