IDC IT Security Roadshow 2008 Securing Your Business: Technology Meets People Conference Date: March 18, 2008 Location: Sofia, Bulgaria Venue: Hilton Hotel

IDC's IT Security Roadshow has become the seminal annual event for CIOs and IT managers looking for the latest information on IT security trends and wanting to meet IT security gurus and industry professionals.

The growing complexity of IT systems and their security has created multiple challenges for CIOs and IT managers across the CEMA region. They must address the explosion in the number of access points, communication technologies convergence, human behavior, company leaders still thinking in terms of antivirus software and firewalls, limited resources, and flat or even decreasing budgets. While basics remain essential, CIOs and IT security managers must also handle evolving authentication methods, well financed corporate espionage agents and cyberterrorists, as well as employee awareness.

IDC’s IT Security Roadshow 2008 events help you pinpoint security solutions most appropriate to your organization. This year, we divide each event into two sessions:

• Morning plenary sessions: These provide a foundation for addressing IT security through essential overviews of IT security trends, IT security market developments, and the implications of under-securing enterprises.
