More Content.We’ve created a roster designed to help your IT organization be more flexible and efficient while providing predictable and repeatable levels of security, availability, compliance, and performance for applications and information assets. The sessions, demos, and labs deliver a customizable learning experience to help address the specific needs of your environment. Hosted by Symantec executives, customers, product managers, developers, and partners, each presentation features real-world implementations and customer successes. You’ll see how the latest technology is being used in departments like finance, risk management, and legal compliance, so you can learn how to ensure that your organization’s information remains secure, available, and accessible—to whomever needs it, whenever they do.
Security
Today’s security threat landscape involves stealthy, targeted, and financially-motivated attacks aimed at exploiting numerous vulnerabilities in a variety of systems—endpoint devices, email servers, messaging vehicles, and online applications. Managing the security of the entire infrastructure has become an important—and increasingly challenging—task. Learn how organizations are addressing their security and threat management needs with comprehensive, multi-tiered defenses for every system. This track addresses the latest technology and strategy for managing and securing your systems:
- Security Management: Linking security policies to processes
- Endpoint Security: Comprehensive security for endpoint devices
- Application Security: Identifying vulnerabilities and preventing security breaches in high-visibility, mission-critical applications
- Messaging Security: Protection against threats from inbound and outbound email and IM
Information Risk & Compliance
Effective information risk and compliance management are key to keeping client systems well-managed and available while cutting complexity, downtime, and costs. Learn about latest technology to automate and standardize messaging management, records retention, and compliance monitoring to protect against information risks such as data privacy, theft, and unintentional disclosure. Sessions will focus on:
- IT Compliance: Standardization and automation of complex compliance processes
- Discovery and Retention Management: Capturing, classifying, and storing unstructured information to enforce retention policies
- Data Loss Prevention: Defining policies for managing and sharing sensitive data, monitoring compliance, automating remediation and auditing, and mitigating legal and regulatory risks
- Messaging Management: Reducing costs of operating and managing email messaging systems
Storage
The key to deriving maximum value from your information assets lies in optimizing the way information is managed throughout its lifecycle. Organizations today are struggling with multiple projects from storage consolidation to storage management and virtualization with one goal in mind—to effectively manage storage capacity and enable fast and easy access to archived data. Sessions in this track will focus on:
- Storage Management: Maximizing storage utilization across heterogeneous operating systems while improving service levels and reducing capital costs
- Archiving: Organizing data to improve data management and retrieval
- Backup and Recovery: Protecting and recovering data quickly and efficiently
Infrastructure Operations
The demands on data centers are growing dramatically, with different storage and server hardware solutions multiplying as budgets and staff levels are staying flat. The result is increasing complexity in the datacenter—and increased man-hours to manage it all. The infrastructure operations track will cover ways to consolidate infrastructure operations to reduce complexity and improve efficiency through automation of critical tasks and standardization on a common infrastructure. This track will zero in on:
- Server Management: Automating the configuration, provisioning, patching, and resource utilization for applications and IT services deployed on physical and virtual server environments
- Endpoint Management: Automating time-consuming and redundant client management tasks
Business Continuity
Effective business continuity planning and management includes defining, implementing, and managing diverse assets to ensure shorter downtime and efficient and fast recovery. Hear how peer organizations have effectively prepared for disaster recovery and pick up best practices on how to minimize data loss and return to normal operations with fewest disruptions. This track will address:
- Disaster Recovery: Testing disaster recovery/business continuity plans without impacting application availability
- High Availability: Decreasing planned and unplanned downtime and reducing costs by automating various disaster recovery processes.
