SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - February 8, 2011) - Fortinet® (
WHAT: APT, DDoS, PCI, oh my! In the security industry, hyperbole abounds and end users are often left on their own to distinguish between what is real and what they can ignore. This ambiguity/confusion/uncertainty creates challenges from CSOs down to security admins who are trying to cut through the noise and determine the best security path for their companies. To address this issue, Fortinet has assembled a panel of security industry experts who will share their perspectives on what's real and what's marketing FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) to help conference attendees to cut though the hype and understand where they should consider making their security investments for 2011.
WHO: Mike Rothman, analyst and president, [ Securosis ], will ask key questions, stir the pot, and moderate discussions between Bill Brenner, senior editor, [ CSOonline ] / IDG, Derek Manky, senior security strategist for Fortinet, and Mike Fabrico, a security expert from a Global 500 company. This event is recommended for security administrators, enterprise IT administrators and senior-level IT decision-makers, or anyone who needs to figure out how to allocate scarce security resources in 2011.
WHEN: Tuesday, Feb. 15, and Wednesday, Feb. 16, from 1:30-2 p.m. PT at Fortinet's RSA Conference Booth #923.
INFORMATION: For panelist bios and backgrounds, visit [ http://www.fortinet.com/rsa2011 ].
