John PescatoreThe consumerisation of IT means that the IT organisation is losing control of the hardware, software and services that productive employees will use. IT can no longer say “no” to Skype, Google Apps, Facebook, Macintosh laptops or iPhones. Combined with the growth of financially motivated, targeted threats, this trend is causing major rifts to old, rigid security programs. Here’s a methodology for matching the most effective and efficient approach to staying secure while taking advantage of consumer-grade technologies.
Key Issues:
  • Who will be the winners and losers in the security marketplace as consumerisation drives changes in information security?
  • What are the key security processes, controls and architectures that will be required to deal with the increased exposure caused by the consumerisation of IT?
  • What new threats on the horizon will impact information security programs?
