Andrew Namboka
Chief Technologist, Asia Pacific

Security is a cornerstone in the IT strategy of all
forward-looking enterprises, irrespective of size.
With a business eco-system that is rapidly
undergoing change in the way it conducts day to day
business, IT planners are challenged to match network
infrastructure to evolving business needs. Enabling
business growth is now fundamental to any IT roadmap. This
presentation will highlight the trends in the world

developments in network security.

Mapping your strategy: aligning the security &
business continuity strategy with your company's business
objectives
Paul Marshall
Senior Technology Consultant, HP Managed Services
HP Asia Pacific
Business Continuity is not an “all or nothing”
proposition; it is more of a spectrum of readiness ranging
from industry best practices, such as routine backups
which are safely stored offsite, to full-scale continuity
plans which may invoke a standby system or activate
interim processing using an alternate facility. Business
Continuity is a way of doing business that ensures the
infrastructure has the ability to maintain operations in
the event of a significant adverse event (physical
calamity, sabotage, natural disaster, etc).

Applying Intelligent Security to Minimize Business
Disruption
Dean Ocampo
Product Marketing Manager
Check Point Software Technologies
In 2005 companies throughout Asia are expected to
spend 17% of their IT budget on information security. Many
organizations are increasing their IT spending on proper
security measures that will ensure business continuity.
System downtime can cost companies millions of dollars
in lost business and
productivity. Business disruption and security breaches
continue to be the top security concern facing businesses
both large and small.
In this session delegates will learn how they can
protect their business by applying intelligent, multi
layer security solutions to minimize disruptions due to
security breaches, optimize worker productivity with
secure access, and ensure system uptime.

Emerging Trends in Perimeter Security Appliances
Vishak Raman
Country Manager
Fortinet Inc.
The perimeter security landscape is going through a
sea change in terms of customer requirements. The
exponential growth of content-based attacks in the last
few years has much to do with these dramatic changes. As
computer networks become more critical to businesses and
threats and counter-measures become more complex,
purchasing specialized software solutions for firewall,
VPN, anti-virus and Intrusion Detection and prevention
quickly become less attractive because of manageability
issues and high costs. Organizations are beginning to
keenly evaluate network security appliances which
integrate many security functions into one box. IDC
projected a CAGR for UTM appliances of 80.1 % over the
conventional Firewall/VPN appliances which has a negative
CAGR of (– 0.2 %) for 2003 – 2008 - IDC October 2004.
These findings are interesting in the light of the huge
debate in India right now, on the benefits of point
products as compared to integrated security appliances.
The argument that point products offer better security
through a more specialized feature-set is apparently
losing ground against the easier manageability and lower
cost of integrated platform solutions.
