New Economy New Rules: Who’s Watching You?: Securing Data from Spies and Thieves

Description: Is your company prepared for the risks and challenges of the post NSA spying and Target Corporation data breach world? Consumers are scared, and corporate circles are more aware than ever before of the dangers to their businesses and brands. How we handle customer and partner data is now just as nuanced as customer service, and we may or may not always know exactly who's watching.

For example, social engineering -- tricking people into handing over tech access rather than hacking -- has evolved from the now infamous Nigerian prince ruse into sophisticated multi-part, multi-channel battlefronts. How do tech and tech-enabled companies strike a profitable balance between capitalizing upon cloud advantages and other powerful technologies, and defending themselves from increasingly creative and ruthless attacks?

Join us for an important discussion about how high-profile spying and data breach incidents have led to greater demand for security solutions and espionage protections, and the impact media scrutiny and risk awareness is having on the tech industry.
