June 2, 2011: Mapping Identity Credential and Access Management to Meet Inter-agency and Private Cloud Interoperability Challenges
In this live webinar, Judith Spencer, former Government agency expert in identity management and lead in development of the Federal Identity and Credential Access Management Segment Architecture (commonly known as the Federal ICAM Roadmap), will review the vision of ICAM touching on the vulnerabilities it was developed to overcome and the challenges associated with reaching the "end state" required by the Roadmap. Intel will map how federated user Single Sign On and Web Service access security have emerged as the FICAM recommended means for accepting third party credentials from external parties. The future requirement (effective 2012 per the HSPD-12 directive) to be able to authorize PIV credentials issued by other agencies through the secure back-end attribute exchange model (BAE) will be explored as a catalyst for inter-agency identity sharing and access.

June 9, 2011: Stronger Security and IT Operational Excellence - How to Achieve Both from Your Endpoint Management and Security Suite
Today's IT network is more distributed and virtual than ever, with the increased use of remote endpoints and cloud-based applications. The problem is, increasingly sophisticated malware attacks are targeting these endpoints and applications. As point-based endpoint security technologies are added to mitigate each new challenge, so increases the cost and complexity of managing your overall IT environment. So how can you effectively and cost-efficiently manage and secure your endpoints in today's evolving IT environment? By managing endpoints throughout their entire lifecycle. It's not simply about adding new security layers - i.e. antivirus, patch management, configuration management, etc. - but how these capabilities work together without degrading endpoint performance and, subsequently, end-user and IT productivity.

June 9, 2011: Cyber Security - Trust but Verify
Combating the sophisticated threats that target our information assets require more than a "set it and forget it" approach to security. Join ISSCoastal & Solera Networks to learn how real-time network forensics and situational awareness will help you determine the true scope of any network event and better protect your organization. With a complete picture of all your network activity, you can significantly reduce incident response time and eliminate the exposure to further risk.

Learn what is next in government telework and how to ensure continued success by managing a distributed workforce and leveraging collaborative technologies that support a telework environment.

GTRA / Lumension Breakfast Workshop: Developing a Proactive Security Posture

June 8, 2011   |   8.00am - 11.00am

The City Club @ Franklin Square

Washington, DC

 

RSVP by Monday, June 6 to save your seat! 

 

 
As threats continue to increase in both magnitude and 'mal-itude', traditional, reactive approaches are consuming the energy and resources of government security organizations, without success. Weakened strategy, rising help desk calls, and lost productivity are tough to defend in the CIO's office, particularly as the agency and department's IT security budget are reduced.

Join an exclusive group of your peers for a complimentary breakfast program centered on the impact of Web 2.0 technologies and why their broad adoption leads us to the need for proactive (trust-centric) vs.reactive (threat-centric) solutions. At the meeting, we will discuss:
  • Effective security policy definition 
  • Reducing endpoint security complexity 
  • Prevention of unauthorized applications execution 
  • Integrating the best of both blacklisting and whitelisting  
  • Reducing operational costs associated with endpoint management 
Join us for breakfast and conversation about a key new security that has "turned a corner and is coming out of the "trough of disillusionment" on the Gartner hype cycle '', according to Neil MacDonald, Gartner VP and Fellow.
