Too many organizations still view IT security as set of problems with clear fixes. In fact, IT security is an ongoing process of vigilance covering all aspects of IT: from hardware and system design to software implementation and network use. While system administrators are generally aware of this in principle, few have put it into practice – too much time is spent treating symptoms rather than addressing causes.

Our fifth annual IT security roadshow hopes to help change this. It takes the new approach to security, treating it as a process that includes proactive attention to detail and the human factor in policy implementation. It also takes a preventative approach, featuring IT security gurus that help you recognize threats before they shut down your operations:

Craig Fellenstein and Ofer Akerman (Bucharest, Ljubljana, Kyiv, Istanbul, Zagreb, Prague, Budapest)
Using the classic form of Platonic Dialogue to draw on their experience combating cyber terrorism, Fellenstein and Akerman tackle the root cause of security risks and help you build a holistic framework yielding predictive and proactive IT security strategies.

Marcus J. Ranum (Bratislava, Moscow, Warsaw)
The "Nostradamus of IT security" who created the first commercial firewall and won the International Systems Security Association's (ISSA) lifetime achievement award speaks on the future shape of IT security.

Sebastian Schreiber (Belgrade, Budapest, Bucharest, Prague, Tallinn, Warsaw)
The ethical hacker will demonstrate live the vulnerability of unprotected WiFi networks on a carriage ride through city centers. (Legal restrictions prevent Schreiber from breaking into encrypted WLANs, though he will explain how it is done.)

IDC sets the stage at each event. Our analysts will provide guidance on understanding security as a process and on remembering that the primary aim of any organization is providing a safe framework for business operations and access to key systems.
