MORNING SESSION:
The amount of electronic content that business organizations contend with is growing at incredible rates. Terms like “Big Data” and “Information Overload”, are being used by overwhelmed information workers on a daily basis. All of this data must be secured; not only to make sure it is not damaged and remains available to those that need it, but also against theft or misuse. This session discusses the places that businesses keep digital information and addresses the importance of securing corporate electronic data. The material effectively shows ways to achieve high security standards for content stored in fixed locations, on mobile devices and in the cloud. Participants in this session will gain an understanding of the concepts needed to improve the way they, and their companies secure digital information.
AFTERNOON SESSION:
The COSO Enterprise Risk Management Framework was designed to address many new business challenges such as evolving markets, the rapid rate of change in the business world and the notable increase in regulation standards.
