Corporation has unveiled strategies to enable enterprises to
secure their data from cyber attacks. Bill Robbins, Sales Executive,
Symantec unfolded the strategy at the US-based company's premium
technology conference. "Robbins will examine the critical shift
from infrastructure-centric to information-centric computing and
discuss what such a paradigm shift would mean to enterprises and
organizations," said Eric Hoh, VP-Asia, Symantec. The company also
showcased its latest
technologies, ranging from effective management of large datacentres
and cloud computing to security and storage software. "The
solution involves a fundamental shift in how we approach the
connected world beyond the systems to protect and manage data or
information irrespective of the device, location and infrastructure,"
Hoh said.

David Thompson, CIO, href="http://www.ciol.com/News/News/News-Reports/RCom-Genpact-bag-Symantec-luminary-awards/144205/0/">Symantec
also
addressed an event titled 'The New IT Landscape: a CIO's
Perspective' and discussed how CIOs can manage, take control and
leverage technology trends to achieve business objectives. "For
instance, the Stuxnet worm was the first to have a physical,
real-world impact, spreading through USB devices and affecting
industrial control systems in June. We are likely to see more such
sophisticated and complex threats in 2011," Hoh said. The firm's
CTO Mark Bregman will explore how enterprises can leverage innovation
to manage the information-centric world. With information and
communication
technologies (ICT) emerging as key differentiators, their increasing
deployment to enhance productivity across verticals has made cyber
security a vital issue, especially for the banking, financial
services and insurance (BFSI) sector. With financial and other
sensitive transactions being conducted from a host of offline and
online devices, providing security to retain confidence of customers
and intermediaries is one of the prime challenges facing the BFSI
sector.
