PLYMOUTH ? Virtual Privacy versus Actual Security is the topic of the Feb. 17 meeting of the Motor City ISSA. Jim Doherty – Chief Marketing Officer, Cipher Optics, will talk about real world obstacles and expectations of integrating end user devices into the corporate environment, while still maintaining a semblance of security. He?ll highlight how security supports innovation via three case studies of recent project initiatives.
Many network and security executives believe that their data is secure as it traverses the Wide Area Network. This myth is often perpetuated by Service Providers who claim that their networks are secure – insinuating that your data is safe from attack, theft or redirection as it traverses over these “virtually private” backbones. They often site lack of specific regulatory requirements as “proof” of their security.
The truth is that your data may be more vulnerable there than anywhere else (something the hackers already know). Most often sent in clear text (unencrypted), your data can be viewed, replicated, modified or redirected without detection, and there are easily attainable video instructions on how to tap data lines for data replication.
If you are sending data over a service provider’s network you need to know the difference between virtual privacy and actual security. It’s time for you to take matters into your own hands.
Attendees will learn about:
The truth about the lack of security with MPLS and other WAN technologies
Steps you can take and questions you can ask to ensure your data is protected
A groundbreaking data protection method that secures data without impacting network or application performance.
