Can we win the security game?

Will attempt to answer this question.

MEITSEC is a unique event not only among other events around the Middle East, but in that it differs from year to year.  This year MEITSEC’04 will get down deep into every aspect of IT security and related issues from the legislative & police arena to the heavy bits inside any intelligent machine; all passing by Risk Management, Non-Traditional IT Security and the new ‘Gray Reddish Hat’ as a combination of ‘White Hat’, ‘Red Hat’ and ‘Black Hat’.

This year MEITSEC‘04 will have an impressive array of worldwide recognized speakers currently advising top management in competitive companies around the region and abroad.  These high caliber professionals come well-qualified to address key issues to management concerns.  As we know top management people are a tough audience for the IT security message – they have already heard enough horror stories, zone out when too many technical details are presented and may not follow advice given.  MEITSEC’04 addresses this dilemma.  It will discuss difficult security related management issues with an eye on business goals, impacting its thoughts on such topics as: How should corporate accounting show losses from computer/network crime incidents?, What’s the return on investment for various approaches to IT security awareness and spending?, Is top management security’s weakest link?, and What are the anticipated security costs of business partnerships?
