Unsafe at Any Speed:  7 Dirty Secrets of the Security Industry

Joshua Corman, Principal Security Strategist, IBM Internet Security Systems

Do you ever feel security providers aren't telling you the whole truth? Wonder what they aren''t telling you? We entrust the Security Industry to protect us from unacceptable risk. However, competing vendor priorities often prevent sharing and open discussion of security truths. Some 'lies by omission' merely delay countermeasures. More serious 'dirty secrets' have created and perpetuated unacceptable blind spots and exposures.

As a result of participating in this session, attendees will be able to:  

• Identify the '7 Dirty Secrets of the Security Industry'
  
• Examine key security trends
  
• Outline practical ways to command intellectual honesty from your trusted security providers
