One Stop Security Workshop 2010 Completed
Inter Engineering sets the trend for Innovative Security
The already forth annual “One Stop Security Workshop” found place in Athens on Thursday 21-10-2010 before a rich audience representing the IT industry as well as organizations of all types.
The unique aspect of the One Stop Security Workshop is the fact that, instead of lectures, real security issues are demonstrated live on stage together with their solutions. And that in multiple parallel sessions during a whole afternoon safeguarding maximum return on investment in time for the attendants.
Once more the event was accepted with great enthusiasm. Attendants lively interacted with the presenters and left with new knowledge immediately applicable in their daily workspace.
The conference’s topics were cleverly selected to cover a wide variety of relevant topics presented by experts from 8 Inter Engineering allies from just as many countries.
Mikko Hypponen, F-Secure’s CRO and one of the worlds most famous experts on malware and online crime started taking the audience on a journey through the evolution of malware and the internet underworld, uncovering the evil of today and yet to come and the needed mechanisms of protection coming from the anti malware industry but nonetheless from society.
Malware and attacks have become extremely intelligent and fastly spreading. Protection against known harm is not enough. Effective Intrusion Prevention through unique technology was shown by NetAsq from France.
Faster internet is offering tremendous possibilities for remote business processes but here strong authentication is of course crucial. Vasco (Belgium) and SMS Passcode (Denmark) showed elegant One Time Password (OTP) solutions approaching at the problem from different angles: hardware and software tokens and passwords through SMS.
Tectia from Finland showed, known from the SSH encryption protocol, protection of the remote session itself. Tectia also surprised the audience with their complete and unique management infrastructure for encrypted communication.
The Move to the Cloud is all around. Also for security where it is called Security As A Service
This gives opportunities for all. The IT industry and customers, especially SMBs
Inter Engineering showed the portfolio of SaaS solutions it has developed for the protection of end customers, but that can also be used by IT companies to become SaaS providers themselves.
Large enterprises where security is maturing, now look at more complex security issues such as DLP (Data Leakage Prevention).and controlling social networking. Secure Systems (Latvia) demonstrated its effective approach to DLP through a software infrastructure that completely controls data flow. Clearswift (UK) showed the controlled use of social networks through web content security.
Last but not least the audience was captured by Secnology’s (USA) exciting solution to an already old problem: Logfile Management. This allowing freedom to exploit log and event data by processing it in real time and with richness of presentation.
“The topics were well picked and the people enthusiastic.”, comments Josmaarten Swinkels, Inter Engineering CEO. “We work hard to give a practical contribution to security in businesses and of course it’s a great to see that that really works. The One Stop Security Workshop is the milestone that reflects what we actually do every day: Providing professional and flexible security for today and tomorrow and being a security business enabler for the IT industry.”
