Regulatory requirements and increasing consumer concerns about information security breaches are making data-level security controls a top priority for 2007, according to IT managers at the Computer Security Institute (CSI) trade show in Orlando this week.
To keep danger at bay and prevent the daily nightmarish stories, threats and viruses from materializing, companies don't have any choice but to tighten up their security, says Gord Bradshaw, manager of Technical Services for Dynamic Mutual Funds Ltd. And in the financial services sector, customers expect no less.
Cisco Systems Inc. this week introduced education programs for designing network security architectures and updated certification tests for specific Cisco security gear.
