This morning we heard from ten speakers on topics ranging from anti-virus to digital security CCTV. Nicholas Vreugdenhil from Nortel spoke about their vision to secure the "Hyperconnected Enterprise" - the new term to describe LAN, wireless, Mobile phone and internet techonologies that are now meshed together to provide an organisations IT network/applications. They expowse a four layer model to secure; access, communications, perimeter networks and core systems - using their portfolio of hardware/software systems.
Another interesting presentation was by Thomas Parenty (Hill & Associates) about best practice for business information system security. He highlighted how the emphasis in security has moved away from the system level (securing computers, servers and LANs) to the information level (data, access and communications). This is due to the collaborative nature of shared resources between partner oganisations, contractors etc. He gave a number of case studies and ended with a similar message to the Nortel Guy with the following recommendations: Protect the perimeter, Control information security, Control Information use.
This afternoon promises penetration testing, critical web apps and secure banking... ps the coffee worked!
