Gartner, Inc. has combined three of its most popular security-focused
conferences into one new four-program summit — the Gartner Security &
Risk Management Summit, which takes place June 21-23 in Washington D.C.
Four complete programs within the Summit will drill down on Security,
Risk Management and Compliance, Business Continuity Management, and
chief information security officer (CISO) roles to deliver detailed,
role-specific content and networking. Each program offers a full agenda
of analyst sessions, keynotes, round-table discussions, case studies,
workshops and more. The programs will cover today's hottest topics in
security and risk management, from network and infrastructure security
to cloud computing, security as a service, sourcing, compliance,
e-discovery, privacy, and identity and access management.
The new event has been restructured to feature four concurrent programs
over three days:
CISO: strategic and managerial vs. tactical; professional
development
(includes Invitational Program)
IT Security: security technology, privacy and protection tools
Risk Management and Compliance: governance, risk and compliance
Business Continuity: disaster recovery, 24/7 availability
Session content will balance tactical recommendations and next steps
with big-picture insights and strategy designed to help IT better align
with business goals and deliver greater business value. Attendees will
garner an updated understanding of where IT security and risk management
stand today, what coming changes mean for their organization, and how to
address them with a step-by-step plan of action.
"The Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2010 is the premier
conference and meeting place for IT and business executives responsible
for creating, implementing, and managing a proactive and comprehensive
IT strategy for information security, risk management, compliance,
business continuity management, IT disaster recovery and business
resiliency," said Victor Wheatman, managing vice president at Gartner
and summit co-chair.
"Security is a class of risk management, and risk disciplines are
helpful when applied to security. Going forward, we need to take a
comprehensive view of risk that includes security, but also risk
management and all the disciplines within it, such as business
continuity," said Chris Byrnes, managing vice president at Gartner and
summit co-chair. "This Summit brings these elements together to give a
complete picture."
The latest security and risk management tools will be demonstrated by
the more than 90 companies that will be exhibiting at the conference. A
