In today’s threat landscape, nothing static remains secure. Cyber attackers continuously seek new vulnerabilities to exploit in order to keep ahead of the latest security advances, and they are succeeding. High-profile data breaches are dominating headlines, and attacks have become so pervasive that on average, a malware event occurs at a single organization once every three minutes. In this environment, no single security system can protect your organization from threats. You've got to adapt to survive. Learn: --The increased attack vectors inherent in the current security landscape. --How to rethink your approach and adapt your strategy to achieve a more nimble security stance with multiple layers of defense, analytics and incident response. --How to safeguard distributed applications and mobile, cloud and social interactions across the enterprise. --How to optimize your security operations without overspending.

Editor's Notes
- David Launches: This is not really a security problem – it’s an IT Ops problem…how can I tee this up? Applications and data may be in a traditional data center, hybrid data center, or somewhere in the cloud.
- David launches In the past, when IT was setting up access to restricted systems, it only had one location to consider: within the enterprise. Users who wanted to access corporate data had to be on-premise, where security systems were tested and hardened. That was OK, because they were employees who typically did their work from an assigned space at a specific location. The IT department created the systems and distributed the devices that could be used to work within that closed environment. Today, that intimate corporate network is a globally connected web of users and devices that are accessing IT environments wherever, whenever, and however they choose. And the users have extended beyond employees to include partners and customers. Users could be working from the office, from home, in a car, a coffee shop, an airport or a hotel room. Even if they are internal employees in an office, they may be using a shared space—“hoteling”—rather than working from an assigned port. Each of these cases presents a different set of circumstances that pose the same question: Maggie: How do you know the person attempting to access corporate data is who they appear to be? As apps move, companies need to have a better handle on who is using them: Who are they? Where are they? What are they doing? They need a granular understanding of the following: Where is the data? Who owns it? Do I have it classified? Do I have data protection controls (encryption etc.)?
