SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- SDForum, Silicon Valley's leading source of information and education in the technology community, announced today the one-day conference "Developing Security and Securing Development: Hosting, Outsourcing and Compliance" to be held on Sept. 19 at South San Francisco Conference Center in conjunction with SecureWorld. This year's keynote focuses on the intersection of security and technology innovation: past, present and future.
"Implementing comprehensive security solutions without inhibiting productivity continues to be topmost in the minds of company executives across the globe," said Archie Reed, Distinguished Technologist at Hewlett-Packard and this year's keynote speaker. "Increasingly, companies have employees, partners and customers scattered in far-flung places. Ensuring maximum efficiency without compromising security is of critical importance."
The event kicks off with Archie Reed's keynote and three panel discussions ensue: "Best Practices for Compliance," "Venture Capital & Start Ups -- Where's the Business?" and "Storage and Disaster Recovery- Offsite/Onsite/Outsourced secure storage." Experts will address how companies are integrating security and compliance into in- and out-sourced development, the latest technologies with the most promise and what criteria investors are using to pick winning security technologies.
"Criminals are increasingly profiting from identity theft, cyber-extortion and credit card fraud. Meanwhile, our world is becoming exponentially more connected, and more vulnerable through on-line commerce, outsourcing and open community development models," said Ames Cornish, SDForum Board Member and managing partner of Montebello Partners. "This event offers a unique opportunity to hear an outstanding group of technology visionaries and investors who will describe how to reduce your risks and profit from new market opportunities."
