TechForum's Security Forum

About TechForum's Security Forum
TechForum's mission is to promote dialogue between buyers and sellers of new and disruptive technologies around the key issues facing large enterprise organizations. Security Forum is an invitation-only executive conference held biannually in New York, in May and October. Attendance is limited to security and network infrastructure professionals who work directly for mid-size to large enterprise organizations and sponsoring vendors who sell them products and services.

At TechForum's Security Forum, we take a real-world approach to cloud computing and the virtualization technologies which are fundamentally changing Corporate IT. Poor economic conditions, together with technology innovation are fueling business momentum for cloud-based solutions. However, security challenges around virtual technologies threaten to undermine large scale deployment. In our interactive panels and targeted presentations, IT managers who are implementing secure solutions for cloud computing engage with a select group of vendors in the public/private cloud debate. If you want first-rate social networking-along with a serious reality check of the promises and pitfalls of security in the cloud. you'll want to be a part of TechForum's Security Forum.
