McAfee, Inc. , the
world's leading dedicated security company, today announced that it is
creating a new annual conference designed to help organizations get the
most out of their security risk management investments. The McAfee Focus
Security Conference 2008 will take place in three information-packed days
that will include industry-leading keynotes, breakouts, and special
sessions. The first event is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas, Oct.
20-23, 2008. Speaker submissions are welcome.
"The McAfee Focus Security Conference will provide a fantastic
opportunity for security professionals from around the globe to get
together and share their perspectives on security risk management," said
Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive officer of McAfee. "In my
experience, networking with fellow security professionals is the best way
to focus and learn more about security technology. This event will benefit
businesses of all sizes."
McAfee announced the Focus Security Conference at its inaugural
Strategic Executive Security Summit in Dallas. The event, hosted by DeWalt,
brought together nearly 200 of McAfee's top customers and partners. A
precursor to the Focus Security Conference, the agenda for the Summit was
designed to provide interaction in all sessions, as well as ample time for
networking and a platform for open dialogue.
Security risk management, pioneered my McAfee, integrates threat
protection and compliance management with a single management console.
McAfee redefined security and compliance management with ePolicy
Orchestrator(R), the first and only platform that lets organizations
centrally manage security and compliance products from multiple vendors.
McAfee has also extended its leadership in data protection by the recent
release of McAfee Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Host 2.0 and the announced
acquisition of encryption specialist SafeBoot B.V.
