Data security and IT risk have become a boardroom issue as the sophistication and impact of cyber threats grows. Meanwhile, the adoption of new technologies in cloud, mobile and social have added further complexity to securing today's IT infrastructures. Corporations require security strategies that strike a balance between protecting the company from attacks as well as the company's ability to innovate and collaborate across the enterprise. Innovative security solutions must address the full spectrum of IT - from the back-office to the web and from devices to the edges of today's data networks. Kris will discuss the state of the security landscape today as well as ways that IBM and Akamai are helping clients while driving real security innovation. See Kristin Lovejoy's Edge Presentation: http://www.akamai.com/html/custconf/edgetv.html#kris-lovejoy The Akamai Edge Conference is a gathering of the industry revolutionaries who are committed to creating leading edge experiences, realizing the full potential of what is possible in a Faster Forward World.
