Central Plains Chapter Meeting:

"Making Sense of Sensitive Data", Forrest Ratliff, PKWARE

Forrest Ratliff is a Senior Systems Engineer with PKWARE, with more than 10 years experience in the Information Security space. He has worked in concert with professionals in Banking and Finance, Healthcare, and Government to provide tailored solutions for industry wide compliance and risk management related issues. Forrest lives in Burlington, WI and has been in the Information Technology field for over 30 years.


Forrest will be presenting on Protecting Sensitive Data


Digital transformations are fundamentally changing the way organizations store and access information. Traditional security solutions like network and device protection, while never a complete answer, are even less effective in a mobile-focused, cloud-based business environment.

Despite the obvious need for data-level security, many organizations are struggling to implement security strategies that address today's challenges. Uncertainty about the extent and nature of sensitive data, together with concerns about software usability and effectiveness, can leave an organization unable to commit to a data-centric approach to information security.

Integration between data discovery and data protection is the missing link. When organizations can simultaneously identify and encrypt sensitive information on file servers and user devices, they gain unprecedented control and visibility over their data, eliminating the obstacles to true enterprise information security.

 

 

The Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)® is a not-for-profit international organization of information security professionals and practitioners.  It provides education forums, publications and peer interaction opportunities that enhance the knowledge, skill and professional growth of its members. We hope the ISSA will provide a chance to interface with other IT professionals and further your awareness of security practices and technologies.

 

This meeting is open to the general public with no expectations of membership.
