Protecting the “Hyper-Extended Enterprise”

Companies are rushing to deploy new technologies such as cloud computing, virtualization, social networks, and mobilization to gain efficiencies. The result is a “hyper-extended enterprise” exchanging more information in more ways and with more constituencies than ever before. But are organizations being forced to leap before they look?  As cost and revenue pressures drive accelerated adoption of new technologies it’s critical that practitioners focus on understanding and mitigating the very real risks these technologies and business models introduce.  Art Coviello will outline the key components of a Secure Information Infrastructure and its benefits in managing risk and reaping the astounding benefits of the hyper-extended enterprise. 

Art Coviello is responsible for RSA ’s strategy and day-to-day operations as it delivers EMC’s global vision of information-centric security.
