Security is Not a Trend
I just returned from one of our largest Security Summits at the NYSE. We hosted over 120 customers and we discussed security risk facing the enterprise today. We answered questions about data security, cyber crime, the inside and outside threats, protecting trade secrets and enforcing policies. After doing nine (now ten) of these Summits throughout North America it’s heartening to see so many corporate executives taking information security more seriously and making an effort to become more strategic in their approach to enterprise security because this is the mandate of our times. Larry Greenemeier does a great job of capturing some key points from the Summit over on Information Week.
Designing security, rolling it out, and managing it on an ongoing basis is no small challenge and no one is really capable of doing it alone. The stakes are just too high. We all need to be smarter about security: corporate security, national security, and personal security. We take it seriously at Xerox because today’s document traverses the paper and digital worlds and is subjected to unprecedented risk. Our goal is to reduce that risk by helping our customers build a “chain-of-custody” around the document throughout its lifecycle. For these reasons, we will continue to foster the public dialog and exchange of ideas in forums like the Security Summit. Two more are on the drawing board at this time. For those that can't attend in person, we recorded this one and it will be available as a podcast next week. Stay tuned…
