Because it cuts across business functions, systems and processes, compliance is one of the most complex and costly challenges facing IT functions. Is your organization, like so many, struggling with reactive, fragmented compliance projects, non-integrated technology investments, manual processes and duplicated effort? 

In this session Renee Murphy, Founder and Principal Consultant of fyoozhen Consulting & Paul Stamp, Senior Product Marketing Manager at RSA, The Security Division of EMC, will focus on real examples of organizations that are consistently and cost-effectively enforcing IT compliance across multiple geographies and business lines. We'll also show you how doing so helps them minimize security vulnerabilities and frees them from time-consuming manual processes to spend more time adding value to their businesses. 

You'll learn that it's possible to: 

• Automate many compliance-related processes and workflows, including the creation of real-time reports and dashboards tailored to different business audiences 

• Eliminate duplication of effort and investment by satisfying multiple regulations with a small number of controls and applying policies consistently across organizational areas and common regulatory requirements 

• Keep track of changing compliance requirements and quickly understand their implications for your policies and controls

Can compliance be less costly?

This session will focus on the new ISACA guide for implementing and continuing improving the Governance of IT within organizations. It will address the positioning of IT governance within the enterprise governance framework and how important it is to create the right environment for successful governance of IT. It will introduce the IT Governance lifecycle and discuss implementing the lifecycle, pain points, trigger events and challenges to success. Also, covered will be enabling change and managing the program. Finally, it will discuss the use of guidance such as CobiT, Val IT and Risk IT for achieving good practices in IT governance.

Implementing and Continually Improving IT Governance

It’s not easy to keep an enterprise successful and secure these days. Organisations all over the world are faced with a host of challenges: an unsteady economy, growing competition, volatile global markets, shrinking budgets, and consumer uncertainty. Added to that, the growing threats that can easily outwit point solutions with a combination of web 2.0 technologies, encryption, sophisticated spam techniques and phishing attacks. John will take us through McAfee's Global Threat Management technologies which can instantly detect and block multifaceted attacks that attempt to enter your network, simplifying the process for your organisation. He will also discuss some critical requirements to consider as you look at ways to reduce costs and streamline security management processes through a consolidated network portfolio, simplified administration and centralised management via ePO.

Research Results: Enterprise Benefits & IT Governance Frameworks

Welcome to this ISACA event, sponsored by SonicWALL. The speakers for this live webcast will be discussing how network and application usage is dramatically changing the way networks are designed, managed and protected.  Bandwidth is increasing and users are becoming more technically savvy as they strive for greater productivity. At the same time, the growth of insecure Web 2.0, Software as a Service (SaaS), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), social networking, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications and streaming media has increased the need for greater traffic inspection. Firewall-evasive techniques, convergent online information and port-hopping have added new opportunities for the spread of malicious content and code.   
 
Traditional approaches to network infrastructure are failing to meet the combined demand for unrestricted throughput, deep security and granular control.  In most cases, the need for throughput has won out, and security, control and employee productivity have been compromised.   

 

Join this web seminar to learn:

-The mounting security implications of an application-centric network 
-How to manage application diversity and bandwidth growth. 
-Best practices in regaining control over network traffic 
-How to regain control without compromising network performance.

Regaining Control over the Application-Centric Network

The E-Government Act (Public Law 107-347) passed by the 107th Congress and signed into law by the President in December 2002 recognized the importance of information security to the economic and national security interests of the United States. Title III of the E-Government Act, entitled the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA)  requires each federal agency to develop, document, and implement an agency-wide program to provide information security for the information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the agency, including those provided or managed by another agency, contractor, or other source.
This presentation will provide a brief synopsis of the federal initiatives designed to enhance the security of the US federal information systems and the critical role NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) plays in setting standards designed to achieve FISMA compliance.
