When it comes to Trusted Computing IT managers / strategists need to question - if not outright challenge - the conventional wisdom and status quo. If conventional wisdom was working why is the rate of security flaws going up not down? Why is the rate of security attacks constantly increasing? Why is IT security so expensive and hard to manage?
The IT industry is spending $ billions developing the technology to enable Trusted Computing. Those with responsibility for their organisation's security strategy need to understand the implications of these developments. They need to plan a long term strategy to ensure their organisation benefits from e-business. To do this they must ensure their e-business transactions are secure and confidential.
This conference is a wake up call. Find out what is happening in the area of Trusted Computing. Find out what these developments mean to you. Make sure you and your organisation are in a position to benefit.
