IDC Security 2017

Why partner with IDC for our
Security Roadshow 2017?

The modern challenge for information security is the duality of its tasks: How to improve security posture and resource efficiency at the same time? Should legacy systems be protected at the cost of new security technology adoption? What are the boundaries of security responsibility between the company and its service provider? What is the impact of legislation and regulations on the organization’s security? Those management-level challenges are reflected in technological challenges: protection of an ever-increasing number of mobile devices, data leak protection in the age of cloud, and big data to name a few. The IDC Security Roadshow 2017 will discuss these and many other of today's and tomorrow's security challenges.
