The Security Standard reviews the audit and compliance landscape

Dear Networking, How does the relationship between audit and your IT security leadership impact your enterprise? What are the financial, political and strategic implications of compliance? The Landscape of Compliance In keeping with its business-critical focus, The Security Standard invites you to take an exacting look at the compliance-related dynamics of your organization. Are the technologies and policies you employ being used correctly and enforced? What are the most commonly overlooked issues exposed by audit? What are auditors looking for today, and more importantly tomorrow? What are the ramifications of a laissez faire attitude toward compliance? The Auditor Panel: Straight from the Auditors' Mouths At The Security Standard, this special panel session features a discussion with auditors from top organizations discussing their interactions with security and IT leaders, their foremost concerns and ideas -- and how to improve the landscape of compliance. Unique to The Security Standard, you'll reap the rewards of your peers' first-hand experience and informed perspectives like you could nowhere else.
