What are the risks of "X-as-a-Service"? How do you defend yourself against industrial espionage? And what added value does IT security & compliance deliver in real-life use? The answers to these and other questions will be provided by relevant experts in 27 presentations at the IT-BUSINESS Academy's "IT Security & Compliance 2009" conference, which will take place at four different venues and dates.



Decision-makers in companies and IT service providers know the challenge: How can business information be secured in such a way that all applicable legal requirements are met? What may sound simple at first glance quickly becomes a complex task on closer inspection - because the requirements are growing every day.



Increasingly, a company's IT should be so flexible that employees and suppliers can access selected content from anywhere and at any time. At the same time, reliable protection against attacks and secure and integer storage of existing data must be guaranteed. At the same time, new technologies such as software-as-a-service and the growing regulatory requirements for IT compliance must also be taken into account.



Dates of the "IT Security & Compliance 2009" congress:

September 17, 2009: Frankfurt/Hanau

September 22, 2009: Hamburg

September 24, 2009: Düsseldorf/Neuss

October 1, 2009: Munich
