Regulatory compliance and data center consolidation further influenced the IT security spending.

Besides the commoditization witnessed in the security market, there was a shift from single-point solutions to more converged solutions with domestic customers receiving the value proposition offered by converged security solutions. While price was a competitive factor, support was increasingly becoming important. BFSI continued to be the top spenders partly due to the increasing penetration of foreign banks into India, whereas the Government vertical was observed to increase its spending”.

Some of the key areas like the Evolving Role of the Chief Information Security Officer,   Securing the Enterprise Borderless Network,   Secure Your ‘Cloud’,   Best Practices in Security Implementation, would be presented and discussed at the event.

Key decision makers across sectors including BFSI, Telecom, IT/ITeS, Manufacturing, Government, Education and Healthcare are expected to be a part of this gathering.

They will also find out the most efficient and effective ways to protect their data and applications, deliberate upon how to bridge the gap between security and operational efficiency and finally witness and participate in a panel discussion on current trends and emerging issues in the Information Security industry.
