Presentation: Void Your Warranty<\/a><\/h5>\n

Presented by Sean Wilkerson. Typical enterprise network security architecture includes many solutions (software and hardware) designed to do things such as enhance visibility\/detection of threats or stop unwanted traffic. Billions of dollars are spent each year on security products which keep color graphs on our executives desks, security managers at relative peace, and the vendors in business, but what are these products missing?
\nThe average IT Security administrator is slowly losing control of their network with each appliance or turn-key solution they install. We will discuss how to get back this control, hold your vendors and staff accountable, and why this is critical.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
