Title: Trends and Concerns in Enterprise Information Security

Abstract: The landscape of technology in corporate environments is dramatically changing. While new technologies create exciting opportunities for organizations that embrace them, those same organizations are faced with an exponentially-growing list of threats, both externally and internally. In this talk, you will hear about the major trends in information security in 2010 and 2011, and how one company is evolving its traditional approaches to information security to address this changing threat. This talk will also explore some of the emerging technology trends, such as virtualization, smartphones, and cloud computing, and how they are changing the way companies look at information security.
