Web 2.0 - No! A business enabled or a security nightmare?: Find out more later this month!

01 September 2009

Whilst Web 2.0-driven websites and services have made the mobile internet almost as popular as the desktop web, the technology is an information security manager's nightmare, with code extensibility, IP interactions and website flexibility driving a steamroller through traditional information security systems. So what are IT managers to do?

As part of Infosecurity Magazine’s 2009 Virtual Conference on Information Security, Quocirca principal Analyst Simon Perry, Sophos’ security consultant Chris Pace, and Peter Wood, COO - First Base Technologies & ISACA Conference Committee Member for Information & Security, will look at Web 2.0 technology.

This virtual conference session will explain some of the structural security problems Web 2.0 causes for company internet access and services; educate you on the solutions to the problems identified so far in the Web 2.0 security mix; and help you understand the enormity of the problem facing IT security managers at all levels in the industry.

You can find further details and register for this event by registering for The 2009 Virtual Conference on Information Security on 24 September.
