Key Discussion Points

• How have you seen the threat landscape change over the last 12 months and what kind of predictions can you make for 2010? How are initiatives like the OWASP Top 10 2010 and the SANS Top 25 Coding Errors helping to drive industry awareness for security?
• With malicious attackers moving up the IT stack, what can organizations do to better reduce their level of risk, e.g. at the application tier?
• How does operating in a VM-world change the security requirements for organizations?
• Are you seeing more organizations move to proactive security programs rather than ad-hoc reactive security approaches?
• What approaches can organizations take to accurately assess IT and organizational risk associated with security threats?
• Are regulatory compliance initiatives helping or hindering the implementation of true security best practices?
• Are you seeing any key trends how organizations are leveraging commercial and open source security solutions? What is the role that the community can play in advancing security research?

Each panelist will have the opportunity to address each question. We’ll look for questions and participation coming from the audience as well.

In addition, attendees will be treated to cocktails, appetizers and peer networking in a relaxed, casual setting.
