This Week’s Big News: The Ivanti Security Summit Next Week!

If cybersecurity matters to you and your enterprise – and it does – you need to be in Seattle next Wednesday, Nov. 8, at the Ivanti Security Summit, Powered by the Chertoff Group. The theme: Cybersecurity for Today’s Extreme Threats. The goal: to review the critical components of a successful, actionable security strategy.

If you’ve been reading news reports during the past few months, you know that successful hacker attacks have resulted in several big, high-profile cybersecurity breaches.
