Monday, July 20th, 2009ISC2 attendees to the webinar “Endpoint Security is Sexy” heard J.J. Thompson speak on harnessing the unique opportunity IT Security professionals are faced with to demonstrate significant, measurable business value in the year ahead.
One way to do this is through Endpoint Security solutions as a subset of a comprehensive data protection strategy.
To give attendees a starting point, the following download is intended to make it a bit easier to get moving on creation of a vendor evaluation matrix for Endpoint Security solutions. More information will be posted as the vendors will most likely provide us with copies of their own evaluation matrices for us to post for you.
We’ve got the whole Endpoint Security Solution selection, implementation, and integration process down pat. After all, it sure isnt rocket science yet we understand that most companies are missing the bandwidth they need right now. Don’t have the time to do your vendor assessment?

Here’s a freebie for you all. Our marketing team has pulled off a stunning graphic that we believe depicts the current opportunity for security professionals to harness the shift in mindset created by the “green” movement to improve the way security supports the business.
The basics of this will be covered in J.J. Thompson’s webinar for ISC2 titled “Endpoint Security is Sexy”. If you miss it, a re-play will be available and we may have a screencast posted here in Insight as well.
Attendees will leave the session with an increased understanding behind the meaning of the following:
“I understand the economic and social factors that have created a unique and time constrained opportunity for my team to be viewed as a direct enabler for strategic business initiatives by quantifying the opportunity that can be created with a comprehensive data protection strategy, including securing the endpoint.”
Further consideration will be made around what it means for security to generate mindshare and demonstrate value to business driven “green IT” initiatives.

Webinar: ISC2 – Closing The Barn Door – Keeping Your Data From Hopping Fences
Sunday, June 7th, 2009Join Rook’s J.J. Thompson as he presents on Data Loss Prevention for ISC2′s E-Symposium. A synopsis follows:
Are your corporate computing barn doors shut and locked tight? You may think they are, but in reality they aren’t and your valuable data is rushing out to greener pastures.
Opportunities for data leakage have multiplied in the last few years. Social media/Web 2.0 applications seem to be “designed” to leak information due to its immediacy, informality and global nature. Mobile devices pose their own set of problems and when misplaced or lost, present significant problems.
Join (ISC)2 and PGP for an examination of data leakage and loss and how to protect against it in June’s e-symposium, “Closing the Barn Door – Keeper Your Data From Hopping Fences”. The event will take place June 16th at 6 am PDT/ 9 am EDT/ 2 pm BST.
