Experts shed light on information security (VOV) - Leading Vietnamese and foreign experts are gathering at the Security World 2014 conference in Hanoi on March 18-19 to discuss information security and risk management. They examined how to integrate information security into all dimensions of the business – technology, processes, and behaviours. They also looked at a security and risk management roadmap to support business growth, and methods to measure the value of a business’s information security programmes. They were keen on insightful discussion that keeps governmental agencies, organizations, and businesses updated with leading-edge technology trends and effective information security and risk management solutions to drive strong but yet secured business growth. Security World 2014, themed “Align your information security programs to enable business growth”, aimed to build an effective business networking platform that connects communications and information officials (CIOs), communication security officials (CSOs), and information technology (IT) professionals to discuss and share information security initiatives. Alongside the conference, an exhibition also took place, creating a venue for leading technology corporations to showcase their state-of-the-art security services and solutions in network security, cloud security, identity management, and access control. Security World 2014 is co-organized by General Department of Logistics & Technology - Ministry of Public Security, Vietnam Computer Emergency Response Team (VNCERT) - Ministry of Information & Communications, Vietnam Internet Association, and International Data Group (IDG).
