Speech Topic & Synopses
Security 2.0 – How do I balance securing my business with enabling it? Why only a complete approach to information security will benefit today’s modern enterprise.
Security threats are increasing and changing, resulting in increased complexity and largerscale attacks. Regulatory mandates continue to increase in both complexity and frequency and customers and employees demand more when it comes to the protection of their information.
In a world where you have to share, collaborate, and openly exchange information, enterprise security can’t be based on point solutions and isolated functions. When threats change quickly—and the market changes even faster—this reactive security posture can be crippling to operations. Instead, enterprises need a complete and proactive view: managed security that’s flexible enough for high volumes of interaction but will still mitigate risk and assure compliance – allowing businesses the confidence to innovate for advantage. These influences demand a new approach to securing the enterprise. A complete approach. HP has unparalleled experience in helping Enterprise and Government clients secure their traditional IT and hybrid environments. We have invested billions in building a comprehensive security portfolio to offer flexible, integrated, end to end services and solutions to help clients measurably reduce their business risk. www.hp.com/enterprise/security
