Essential Computer Security

Tuesday, July 29 at 1:00 PM EDT (1700 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Tony Bradley and Dr. Anton Chuvakin

Companies of all sizes and in all industries are looking for ways to leverage the benefits of server virtualization. The cost savings in both server and networking hardware, as well as the power and cooling required for multiple servers make virtualization compelling in many cases. Many of these companies must comply with information security legislation or industry guidelines and those that don’t still have internal security policies to uphold. When performing a security audit, a virtual server environment has special considerations and unique risks which must be taken into account. This webcast will discuss the issues inherent with virtual servers and the fundamentals of auditing a virtual server environment.

Speakers: Tony Bradley, CISSP, Microsoft MVP and Mark Guntrip, Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Websense

The Web 2.0 is not tangible. There is no specific product that can upgrade the Web from 1.0 to 2.0. The Web 2.0 represents a natural evolution to the next-generation use of the Web as a business platform that enables collaboration and creativity. Using Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis, and social networking, businesses can interact with partners and vendors, and engage customers in an entirely new way. Strategic use of Web 2.0 technologies can greatly enhance the image and presence of small and medium businesses, and effectively level the playing field to help them compete directly with larger enterprises.

Unfortunately, malware developers and hackers also see the advantages of exploiting Web 2.0. The core of Web 2.0 is built on a foundation of open collaboration and communication which blur network boundaries and increase risk. There have been many breaches of company networks and customer data as a result of weaknesses in how Web 2.0 technologies are configured or secured.

This webcast will focus on Web 2.0 technologies, understanding the risks involved, and steps to eliminate or mitigate the risks and securely leverage Web 2.0 to find and retain customers, and drive business.
