Managing known risk, which is what a vulnerability announcement becomes to a company, should be the basics of any sound security policy practice. However, to do it well requires a combination of people, policies, technology and thorough assessment of the organisation’s assets. The presentation will highlight the key areas and processes to implement and more importantly maintain an effective vulnerability management policy.

Information security needs to start delivering true business value to those around it by addressing the risks facing those specific business units. This means that value cannot be delivered without first consulting the business as to its own risks and resulting requirements and gaining their buy-in from the beginning in terms of measures implemented and method of reporting required.

This session is an introduction to Web 2.0, SOA and Web services applications and how network-based services can help ensure their security and optimisation. The objective of this session is to provide the network IT professional responsible for application optimisation and acceleration (Typically Layer 4 – 7 products) with basic understanding of these new breed of applications and some of the deployment issues.

This session will look at security incident and events management in detail – what technologies are available to provide corporates with a stronger return on investment on the monitoring of the entire security infrastructure. It will address what to look out for when deploying such technologies, and then how to maximise the company’s return on. He will also highlight what pitfalls organisations should be aware of when selecting such technologies.

This presentation aims to demystify wireless network security and inform attendees on how to improve wireless LAN security overall. It will explore the risks and benefits associated with wireless networks, including spoofing, flooding, WEP hacking, WPA cracking and so fourth, as well as demonstrate the tools and techniques used in accomplishing the above-listed attacks, with a case study of a very serious issue surrounding South African users.
