Don’t miss this chance to hear Brightfly’s Managing Director of Research, Brandon Dunlap, present exciting new research as part of (ISC)²’s 2010 Security Leadership Series.

Building on the work of University of Connecticut Asst. Professor Robert Bird, Brightfly has recently conducted a study into how organizations at the leading (and trailing) edges of maturity are managing their security and compliance programs. In this session, “Compliance As Competitive Advantage: Value-Added Security”, we’ll explore the somewhat controversial notion of how information security and compliance activities can be used to generate and maintain competitive advantage for your  organization.

The event will be held at the San Antonio Marriott Northwest:

3233 NW Loop 410
San Antonio, Texas

Please join Brightfly’s Managing Director of Research, Brandon Dunlap, as he moderates “Implementing a DLP Solution”, a half-day e-Symposium from ISC2’s Security Leadership Seminar Series. This highly interactive and vendor neutral event is being held on January 19th, 2010 and kicks off at 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST with opening remarks by Dunlap who is then followed by an all-star line up of experts in this space.

Jared Thorkelson, Principal at DLP Experts and Guest Researcher here at Brightfly, leads off the day with “The Truth About DLP” where he exposes some of DLP’s gaps and how, through a multi-layered approach, you ensure the mitigation of residual data loss risks that these technologies don’t cover.

Following the Q&A with Jared, we’ll have Derek Brink, VP and Research Fellow at the Aberdeen Group, with “How Best-in-Class Companies Manage Data to Serve and Protect”. In this presentation, Derek will showcase leading data protection strategies he has gleaned from research in over 160 enterprises. Be sure to make liberal use of the Q&A session to get Derek’s insights about organization’s like your own.

Up after Derek we have Kim Getgen, Principal at Trust Catalyst (a Brightfly Research Partner). Kim’s extensive experience in DLP has led her down a research path that I’m sure you will find very interesting. In her session, “DLP and PCI Compliance”, she will dive into the role that data loss prevention plays in a larger PCI DSS compliance strategy. Stick around to the end of her presentation to not only question her about her research, but to get access to her free Data Breach Prep Kit.

Closing out the day is John Moynihan, President and Managing director of Minuteman Governance. Broadening the scope of Kim’s earlier session, John opens up the discussion around recently enacted state and federal legislation that has an immediate impact on the data protection activities you need to need to understand. You’ll find his practical advice well worth the time invested in attending.
