Endpoint Security Fundamentals Subject of Lumension 3-Part Webcast Series
Lumension hosts 3-part webcast series to discuss the steps to ensure healthy endpoints. IT security experts examine how to build a sustainable endpoint security program that does not impede business productivity.
Scottsdale, Ariz. (PRWEB) September 1, 2010
In today’s mobile, nonstop business environment, information is drifting further away from the corporate boundaries and towards the endpoints. Cyber criminals have more opportunities than ever to gain unauthorized access to valuable data. Endpoints now store the crown jewels: financial records, medical records, trade secrets, customer lists, classified information, etc. Such valuable data fuels the on-demand business environment, but simultaneously creates a dilemma for security professionals to determine the best way to protect it.
Lumension, the global leader in endpoint management and security, will host a three-part webcast series entitled Endpoint Security Fundamentals to examine how to build a real-world, defense-in-depth security program – one that is sustainable and one that does not impede business productivity. Experts who will lead the discussions are Mike Rothman, Analyst and President of Securosis, and Jeff Hughes, Director of Solution Marketing with Lumension.
Part one will focus on Finding and Fixing the Leaky Buckets, including:
The fundamental steps to take before implementing security enforcement solutions
How to effectively prioritize IT risks to focus on what matters most
