Dear <<Name>>

You may have installed antivirus software running on all gateways, e-mail servers and desktops that serve workers worldwide, but that may not be enough to prevent a blaster attack. What if you get hacked and lose everything? How will you know and What will you do? All of us are concerned about physical and environmental security. We may not always do a formal risk assessment exercise, but intuitively, we try to ensure that we are secure. FBI studies indicate that more than 80% of network security attacks could have been avoided if only the basic steps had been implemented.

This seminar will explore best of breed solutions that meet ITIL-based standards in the industry for safeguarding the network. Other than addressing network security issues and examining best practices in the industry for securing your network, we will also look into solutions for better management of application traffic, optimization and accelerator-related issues.

We would like to invite you to attend our complimentary IT security seminar (2^nd series) – Foolproof Architecture: Building blocks for a better and safer IT infrastructure brought to you by Nokia, Check Point, Citrix and PGP.

What are the topics?

• Evolving Threats Call for Proactive Threat Management by Mr Andrew Namboka, Chief Technologist, Asia Pacific, Nokia Enterprise Solutions
  
  With organisations increasingly deploying on-demand, internet based infrastructures; IT security no longer serves as a mere insurance policy. The evolution of the threats arising from the mobilising and globalisation of modern business operations, is challenging IT management teams to keep pace with legal and industrial corporate security requirements. Organisations are moving towards managing their IT Security risks, by adopting good governance, corporate compliance standards rendering traditional approaches of adequate security as no longer acceptable.
  
  Businesses are being encouraged to take a proactive approach to regaining control of their network security environment, whilst ensuring no hindrance to business objectives.
  
  
• Closing the Security Gap – Pure Security by Mr Vincent Tan, Channel Manager, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd, Singapore
  
  In today’s fast-paced world, where access to the internet environment is readily available, and that the extended workforces are no longer bound by the confines of an office, and frequently work is done on the road with portable computers, powerful cell phones, or smart portable digital assistants. While it was sufficient to provide only a perimeter security system protecting the users against attacks that come through the Internet gateway, the modern extended network demands much more. What can, or should a modern extended enterprise do to provide comprehensive connectivity and critical information to its users, while ensuring that the entire network is iron-clad in security?
  
  
• Keys to Accelerating & Securing Web Application Delivery by Mr Ken Pohniman, Regional Business Development Manager, ASEAN, Application Networking Group, Citrix
  
  To provide mobile workers, business partners and customers on-demand access to critical information, more and more organizations are deploying web-based business applications. While this seems to be the perfect strategy, we soon realize there are some challenges associated with web application delivery such as poor application performance, security risks at the application layer, manageability and cost concerns as the company and user base grows. Learn how Citrix NetScaler provides an ideal solution for any enterprise seeking accelerated Web application performance, improved web application security and increased application availability.
  
  
• The PGP Encryption Platform: The Enterprise Encryption Architecture by Mr Doug McLean, Vice President, Emerging Markets Channel Developments and Operations, PGP
  
  There is a need to protect information from 'prying eyes'. In the electronic age today, industrial espionage among highly competitive businesses often requires that extensive security measures be installed. And this goes beyond corporate boardroom, information that could otherwise benefit a group or individual can also be used against them ultimately.
  
  Increased data accountability and increasing IT complexity require a new approach to securing data. Customers, business partners, and regulatory bodies are requesting higher levels of security for sensitive information. The PGP Encryption Platform reduces the complexities of protecting business data by enabling organizations to deploy and manage multiple encryption applications cost-effectively from a single management console. It is deployed to secure email, laptops, desktops, instant messaging, PDAs, IM, network storage, FTP and bulk data transfers, or backups, thus enabling organizations to reap best-in-class encryption as business requirements emerge and evolve.
