Compliance Decisions:Normalizing Security Data Management
A Free Virtual Seminar Focused on Strategies, Tools and Best Practices for a Secure and Actionable Compliance Program
Join SearchSecurity.com on Wednesday, March 7th at our virtual seminar, Compliance Decisions: Normalizing Security Data Management, as our keynote presenter Mike Chapple shares his best practices for understanding what’s happening on your network and how you can apply it to compliance.
By taking just a few hours out of your day, Chapple will help you figure out the best way to get a 30,000 foot view of what’s going on with the masses of data your organization generates and how you can map it to a compliance program as he discusses how to:
- Implement a governance and control structure that crosses all of an organization’s compliance requirements
- Normalize, correlate and analyze security data generated by various technologies
- Monitor and audit shared network resources that could be overlooked as a vulnerability that could impact PCI compliance
- And more!
This is an issue that your organization can’t afford for you to ignore – join us on Wednesday, March 7th to start planning your strategy for intersecting risk assessments with compliance. Register for Compliance Decisions today.

Mobile Devices: Clear And Present Danger
Tablet PCs, smartphones, PDAs, etc., all make our lives much easier. They are our heaven sent little helpers when we need to be more productive, and need to work more efficiently and effectively.
There is no question that the benefits of using mobile devices in the workplace are numerous, but having them in the corporate infrastructure also present some challenges for infosec professionals.
The challenge isn't necessarily how to secure mobile endpoints, (a slightly modified policy for laptops would work nicely) but compelling users to be mindful of the importance of security as it pertains to how they use their mobile devices is a challenge all unto itself.
Another challenge is how to devise policies for user's mobile devices that aren't corporate issued. How far can a company go to protect their network without infringing on the rights of users who bring their personal mobile devices to work?
Some companies altogether overlook securing mobile devices and as a result have set themselves up for a potential security nightmare. Data breaches, compliance issues, and unauthorized access to the network are a few risks that will become a company's reality if mobile devices are continued to be left out of security loop.
