Gartner has combined three of its most popular security-focused conferences into one new four-program summit. The four programs are Security, Risk Management and Compliance, Business Continuity Management, and CISO (chief information security officer). The Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit takes place June 21-23 in Washington D.C. More than 1,000 IT security strategists and business leaders will attend.
Each program ought to offer 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 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 latest security and risk management tools will be demonstrated by the more than 90 companies that will be exhibiting at the conference. A listing of current sponsors is available on the Sponsors page. The Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit Web site offers complete event details. (Source: Gartner, Inc./GST)
