Network Quality Assurance

Information is the foundation of effective management. For IT managers, achieving a well-run network and aligning it with company goals requires a consistent and objective baseline reporting process. Traditionally, this has required regular review of firewall logs, Email systems, Web logs, Hosts and communications, time-consuming and labor and cost intensive work, to verify
controls and policies are effective.

As clouded economic times and shrinking budgets impact business, IT teams must do more with less and show bottom-line value. IT must lead with innovation and cost-efficiency, extracting maximum benefit from existing network investments. Network Quality Assurance provides an efficient and consistent automated reporting process offering 100% visibility
into IT & business operations.

NQA provides clear, empirical metrics so management can make informed decisions for fast issue resolution, increased productivity and better planning.

To learn about easy, comprehensive ways to assure the quality of your network, including your endpoints, you'll want to attend this informative educational opportunity and learn about Network Quality Assurance and Endpoint Security Management technology.

As a special thank you for attending this presentation, JCS & Associates, Inc. will be giving away a 1 year license to one company for up to 5,000 endpoints
worth up to $9,995 of Congruity Inspector, the premier Network Quality Assurance solution.

The Ultimate Security Risk: People

It has been estimated that 80-90% of all security failures are the result of human error, incompetence or poor procedures. How people manage, use and monitor information systems has a more profound impact on security than any technology. This presentation will address a diverse set of concepts on management, technology, human behavior and psychology to highlight the most pervasive risk to your IT operations - people. And like all presentations from Andrew Plato, it will be entertaining and thought-provoking.

Topics Include:

  • How we perceive security and threat
  • How personalities influence attitudes toward security
  • Why sensational security issues and exotic hacking techniques are useless to your business
  • Why collaboration & communication are key skills for security people
  • Strategies for managing people and risk

Understanding Managed File Transfer - Insights & Best Practices

As IT departments continually adopt new technologies to improve the performance of their systems, productivity of their end users and relationships with trading partners, they are faced with numerous challenges. One such challenge companies face today is securing and automating large file transfers. Traditional file transfer systems and mediums no longer meet the needs of most organizations or their trading partners, especially when data exposure is a concern. Many organizations have developed in-house solutions that are difficult to manage, lack the ability to track and audit file transfers, and expose the organization to security breaches. A Managed File Transfer (MFT) solution should be secure, easy to manage, and have the flexibility to integrate with existing technologies.

In this presentation, you will:

  • Gain a better understanding of the business challenges and drivers of file transfers.
  • Identify the security concerns around traditional file transfer systems and mediums.
  • Learn best practices to develop security architectures for file transfers.
  • Understand how a MFT solution can meet the needs of your stakeholders
