Taking the Complexity out of IT Security
Once upon a time, securing your IT environment meant sticking a firewall between your network and the Internet. These days there's a lot more to it. IT security needs to be implemented on multiple levels and actively managed which makes things a tad more complex. This month's IT Manager Podcast focuses on that complexity - why IT security has become so convoluted and how best to simplify without sacrificing.
Join me as I talk with Rick Omar Kazi from Compugen and Bruce Cowper from Microsoft Canada and we discuss the importance of customer trust, how Canadians companies are stacking up and tips to adopting new technologies while simplifying your IT security.
This podcast is available in both MP3 and WMA formats. For more information about this podcast series, please check out the IT Manager Podcast web page.
