The Universe of Threats - coping with a fractured defense

Enterprises face exponentially proliferating threats to their information assets but struggle with designing the right approach to protect them. How does one stay on top of potential attacks and exposures?  Is the chain of command in place for an adequate response?  Is the mandate and accountability clarified — so who does the buck stop with?

Going Beyond RoI - the strategic value of information assets

For some enterprises infosec is a “must-have”; for others, it is a matter of choice.  What are the strategic drivers that determine varying infosec priorities?  How does an enterprise assess the strategic value of its information assets?  Are there best practices in making choices and setting infosec priorities? Can CXOs get aligned on going beyond RoI?

Building trust in a virtual world - managing customers, employees and decision-makers

Confidentiality, integrity and availability are critical in a virtual environment.  Can information systems be relied on to deliver these?  Are these systems supported by the right mindsets?  Finally, are identity management practices and tools an adequate defence against untrustworthy users?

Overcoming the last bastion - outsourcing corporate security

The advantages of outsourcing infosec are obvious; but the process is complex.  What is the enterprise philosophy that should drive the decision and the design? How important is the state of preparedness for implementation?  How straightforward is it to find a capable and reliable partner? Is the scarcity of skilled manpower a compelling enough reason?

The India Infosec 2008 Debate:
Information Security vs. Growth – a false trade-off?

Collaboration is considered essential for business growth – with vendors, customers, competitors and a host of other stakeholders.  But, does information security require an insular environment? Does this mean that collaboration necessarily means greater ‘insecurity’? Is there a ‘win-win’?
