Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) Executive Forum on June 26, 2007 will Focus on Data-Centric Security for the Data-Driven Enterprise
San Francisco, CA -- June 15, 2007 -- IDG's InfoWorld, the leading integrated media brand for IT solutions management, today announced the key results of a research project on enterprise data protection. The study examines organizational perceptions and strategies for protecting data across the enterprise. Respondents identified the top security threats for their organizations as: outside attacks to harvest data (66%), exposing sensitive data or files to unauthorized users (60%) and accidental loss of employee data (59%). Based on the survey results, InfoWorld is launching the Enterprise Data Protection (EDP) Executive Forum on June 26th at Le Parker Meridien in New York City to offer best practices and strategies to combat these security threats and protect data across the enterprise. More details on the event are available at http://www.EDPExecForum.com.
"The concept of enterprise data protection unifies various technologies to empower organizations to better manage their data," said InfoWorld's SVP of Strategic Development Paul Calento. "EDP is a new market opportunity that is more than merely encryption or secure file transfer or network access control or information leak prevention. There is a new approach to data security and we’re championing a level of integration that our audience in IT solutions management demands, with vendors, like cornerstone sponsor PGP, building the solutions. InfoWorld identifies these trends first and works with key partners to align with the opportunity and drive near-term demand."
InfoWorld is taking a holistic view of EDP by connecting the various data security approaches under one umbrella. The June 26th event will address urgent data protection needs while laying the foundation for comprehensive and manageable enterprise-wide data protection. Over half (57%) of the survey respondents indicated they are currently using email and messaging encryption. Other EDP solutions currently in use include strong authentication (46%), database monitoring (42%) and data transfer encryption (37%). Looking forward, mobile device encryption (21%), storage encryption (19%) and email and messaging encryption (19%) lead the plan-to-purchase over the next 12 months. All of the components will be on hand at InfoWorld's Enterprise Data Protection Executive Forum.
In addition to identifying the top pain points solved by enterprise data protection solutions and the current security approaches available, the study also dives deeply into key encryption and key management policies and perceptions, the potential impact of Microsoft Windows Vista on EDP spending, opinions on the Trusted Platform Module, as well as organization penetration and plan to purchase data on 35 encryption vendors. Additional studies will look closer at information leak prevention and network access control, which are both key to InfoWorld's vision of enterprise data protection. Articles using the research will be available on InfoWorld.com. Measured vendors may request a research briefing by contacting Paul Calento, SVP of Strategic Development at InfoWorld.
InfoWorld's Enterprise Data Protection Executive Forum mirrors the brand's successful "market maker" advocacy approach, used to champion SOA and enterprise virtualization. Components include: face-to-face InfoWorld Executive Forum events, online community media (Webcasts, podcasts, newsletters, InfoClipz), online special sections, and social networking via InfoWorld's IT Exec Connect. Editorial and advertising programs are already ongoing throughout InfoWorld.com.
