Corporate Network Security Leadership
Event - A Strategic & Educational Conference
October 16-17, 2008
Washington, DC
"The hackers are getting more malicious and more clever. Traditional security measures aren't working anymore, so you have to step up your vigilance and improve security." - Andy Faris, Message Labs Inc.
Please join us October 16-17, 2008 in Washington, DC, for a gathering of CISO's, CSO's, CTO's, Directors and Managers.
With Cyber terrorism continuing to escalate for the U.S. government and businesses of all sizes, computer experts recommend companies take the necessary steps to protect their valuable data. Some companies find it hard to justify spending money on network security, especially large amounts, however the financial burden will most likely be much higher if they don't protect themselves now.

Upcoming Network Events
"At a recent WITI Boston event, I met a former client from 10 years ago when I worked for another company. We sat together at the meeting and got re-acquainted. Since then, my former client has introduced me to several IT executives at their firm to generate interest in our services, which may lead to new business. This demonstrates that networking and participating in WITI events can have very positive results...both professionally and personally."
