Press Release: NOUVEL’s Jim Herbeck to present SANS Institute webcast “Managing Network-related Risk for SMEs” on 20 Mar
Dec 19, 2011
(Geneva, Switzerland) 19 Dec 2011. NOUVEL Strategies partner Jim Herbeck will be the featured speaker at a SANS Information Security Webcast on Tuesday, 20 Mar, 3pm CET. The topic will be “Managing Network-related Risk for SMEs”:
Everyone understands that the threat of cyber attack via the Internet is very real. And every small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) has implemented a firewall to manage that risk. "But is that enough?" asks Jim Herbeck, presenter of this webcast on information security for SMEs. "A network firewall is only the starting point for network security, not the endpoint. There are many additional steps an SME can take to secure their network," says Herbeck. This webcast offers concrete advice for SMEs about managing network-related risk from ISO 27001 and the SANS 20 Critical Security Controls. The webcast is appropriate for anyone who's responsible for managing, developing, or implementing information security at an SME.
This is the fourth webcast in the Information Security for SMEs Series. Each webcast addresses a specific area of information security and offers pragmatic advice for SMEs. Details about the series can be found at the NOUVEL website: http://nouvelstrategies.com/InfoSec-for-SMEs
