ISLANDIA, N.Y. -- Computer Associates International, Inc. (CA) will host an October 16 webcast featuring Gartner Research on coping with the growing complexity of IT security infrastructures. Entitled "Be In Control of Growing Complexity -- Security Management," the webcast will address challenges facing corporate IT security managers and outline solutions for ensuring the safe and resource-efficient enablement of critical business processes. Enterprise security administrators today are inundated with daily messages and alerts. This "security information overload" -- where a single security incident is capable of generating thousands of system messages -- makes it nearly impossible for security teams to effectively prioritize their actions and achieve necessary efficiencies. Featured analyst Mark Nicolett, vice president of Gartner Research, and Sam Curry, director of product management for CA's eTrust Solutions, will discuss these challenges. Topics will include: -- Closely linking security to business needs -- Safely leveraging key data within and beyond the enterprise -- Key criteria for selecting security management solutions -- Best practices for security management "As computing environments become increasingly complex, so do the challenges associated with safely enabling business processes across those environments," said Curry. "Companies that develop strategies which bring simplicity and precision to security management will therefore be better prepared to conduct business electronically with partners, suppliers and customers." The webcast will be held from 2 p.m. - 3 p.m. EDT. To register and obtain additional information, visit http://ca.com/events.
