- Packaging and presenting the message
Most security professionals are technicians by nature and experience - experts in tools and techniques used against attack. As such they are vital members of what I will call “The Blue Team” or The Good Guys and yet every team needs the leading member to develop the overall strategy and properly deploy team members for optimal effect. IT Sec must begin from a firm foundation and a solid understanding of their own operations in order to better characterize potential adversaries and organize their defenses to best effect.

Why should you attend?
IT Security folks are being sought likely never before and finding qualified people with broad experience and a sense of the business priorities can still be a challenge. One of the most difficult tasks faced by security professionals today is getting information risk management truly integrated with operations and management planning activities. As the landscape changes, our response must be to adapt to it by changing our perceptions first and then evolving our processes to fit the cases and needs presented. It is not sufficient to simply acknowledge that risk is an important factor: its evaluation and the knowledge gained must produce meaningful, appropriate action.
