“Running an IT environment without a security strategy is just as irresponsible as having a cruise liner without lifeboats” “It won't happen to us” seems to be the credo of many companies. It is our aim to point out the risks and to describe a simple route to a security strategy. Mike Hartmann Software/Networks Department Manager

1. Security Strategy Workshop 2008 General Concept Target group Media presence/Benefits Contact GENERALCONCEPTTARGET GROUPMEDIA PRESENCECONTACT

Basic concept Very few medium-sized companies have a security strategy - this emerged from the 4th Security Conference. The industry estimates that there have been two billion security breaches. It is therefore important to have a system-immanent security strategy that protects the company against the loss of business-critical data. The 1st TecChannel Security Strategy Workshop helps to pick up and deal with weaknesses in the risk analysis. GENERALCONCEPTTARGET GROUPMEDIA PRESENCECONTACT
