Topic: Managing InfoSec in a Cha(lle)nging World

We are living in an increasingly evolving world. The technology around us changes constantly, with it changing the way we live. Due to the advances in technology, the world has become a interconnected place; connecting people, cultures, communities and organisations. These connections are not just technological, but multidimensional. We create wired and wireless connections using static and mobile devices to initiate and maintain human and virtual connections across geographic, socio-cultural and generational boundaries.

The convergence of the professional and personal spaces as resulted in a the development of many new technologies such as high reliance on the information and communications technologies.

With the rapidly changing technology and its use, we are posed with the challenge of securing the systems and information connected by the technology. The changing landscape of the information and communication technology space means that the traditional ways that we looked at managing information security are no longer valid. It poses us the challenge of rethinking the way we plan our information security strategy.

This presentation interactive session that challenges the way we traditionally look at information security.
