Web Conference Overview:

Increasingly legislation and regulation are becoming extremely important drivers for what information security professionals have to do, and the pace of delivery seems to be increasing wherever you work in the world today. What impacts will recently enabled, pending and possible future legislation and regulation have on organizations and individuals approaches to what and how they do information security? How do we prioritize what is most important? What can we do to make compliance easier? How do we get our policies aligned with the differing regulatory environments across different jurisdictions? How do we deal with export controls (software and information)? In some cases the question might be – How do we stay out of jail? Join our industry experts to get their views and this topic and the questions around it.
