IT Security Compliance Seminar Synopsis
“Introduction
to IT Security Compliance”
Presenter: Neil Campbell, Dimension Data, European Director – Security
The ever increasing trend towards stealing data
for criminal purposes and the compromising of data over the past five years
has seen the introduction of new and revised IT security compliance
regulations. Coupled with the continuous evolvement of the way in which our
businesses operate and our employees are required to work, how do we begin to
traverse through the complexity of IT security compliance?
In
this keynote address Neil Campbell will look at the key IT security
compliance regulations that effect businesses today, provide an overview of
where they fit and why they are relevant to your business. Furthermore, Neil
will provide examples of the business risk of non compliance, as well as look
at some of the trends towards validation and enforcement of these
regulations.
“How
to achieve business security compliance – keys to success”
Presenter: Alastair Broom, Dimension Data, UK Director – Security
IT security compliance is an ongoing process, not
a one-off project. Furthermore, it is crucial to understand that this
process is not always about removing the risk, but more about managing the
risk, and it is therefore a continuous compliance effort by its very nature.
In
this session, Alastair Broom, will provide insight into best practice
processes to achieve and maintain security compliance, as well as practical
guidance on how to map your compliance requirements against your current
environment. He will explain how to build and execute on a remediation plan
and manage your security compliance processes to enable ongoing conformity.
“Case
study: PCI Compliance, a practical approach”
Presenter: Brian Pennington – Dimension Data, UK Business Development Manager
– Security
PCI Compliance can be a complex and confusing
data security standard. The raft of un-ratified information available on PCI
Compliance, which can sometimes be contradictory or misleading, means that
those organisations that process and store payment card financial data are
struggling to even know where to start as they embark on the journey to
attain PCI Compliance. Worse still, with the recent public cases of
organisations in breech of their PCI Compliance contractual obligations, the
risk to businesses that have not met their PCI compliancy requirements, are
high from regulatory, financial and brand image perspectives.
In
this session Brian Pennington will provide an overview of the 12 key PCI Data
Security Standards, and how these are profiled against different types of
business, then describe the various PCI Compliance validation requirements,
as the level of compliance varies on the type of business. Brian will then
discuss a recent PCI Compliance case study and look at the practical steps
that were taken to achieve PCI Compliance.
