Past events
Security in Action - New Age Threats - Breakfast Seminar
Intercontinental Melbourne The Rialto, 495 Collins St
Kiandra IT and HP were pleased to co-host the Security in Action - New Age Threats Breakfast Seminar.
In today’s hostile environment where cybercrime is on the rise, and BYOD advancing fast - anti-virus and firewalls are no longer a sufficient sole line of defence for your network. It's become an arms race between IT and hackers that is escalating rapidly. How can you keep the bad guys out and your systems protected?
The Security in Action Breakfast Seminar examined some of the most common threats on the security radar and how they can compromise the integrity of your environment.
Attendees learnt how to protect against these new-age threats, and use centralised configuration, standardisation, and automation to replace manual security activities to minimise the financial, operational, technical, legal, and public relations impact of a security incident.
Date: Friday 27 April
Time: 8 - 9.30am (breakfast will be provided)
Location: Intercontinental Melbourne The Rialto, 495 Collins St
Speaker: Stephen MacDonald, Regional Sales Manager, HP Enterprise Security.
