In light of recent high-profile threats and evolving regulations, IT executives must work together to ensure security and compliance across the enterprise. Instead of struggling to manage multiple point solutions, today’s network, security and audit teams need to take an integrated approach to correlation, mitigation and remediation.

·         A model that shows how compromised systems impact business loss

·         Steps organizations should take to proactively address security and compliance

·         Why IPS should be integrated with security, risk and audit management

·         Ways to ensure effective correlation, mitigation and remediation

·         How an integrated platform drives efficiency and reduces complexity
