Perimeter E-Security Executives to Present at RSA Conference 2012

MILFORD, Conn., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Perimeter E-Security, the premier cloud security provider, today announced that two of its top executives and security industry thought leaders will have a strong presence at RSA Conference 2012. The company will also showcase its industry-leading cloud security solutions as a premier sponsor at the eighth annual America's Growth Capital Conference, being held during the RSA Conference.

A recognized authority on data, endpoint and mobile security topics, Andrew Jaquith is chief technology officer at Perimeter E-Security. The top-rated RSA Conference speaker was previously a senior analyst with Forrester Research. At this year's RSA Conference, Jaquith will share his perspectives during the following panel presentations:

• Big Data and Security: The Rules Have Changed: Industry focus has shifted to put as much emphasis on broad threat awareness as it has on prevention. However, conventional security technologies don't innately have the intelligence to deal with rapidly emerging threats and Web innovation. A mix of innovative technology and big data analysis is critical. Jaquith will join industry experts from CSO Magazine, Sourcefire, Twitter and Securosis in a panel discussion focused on adapting big data to security decisions, and best practices for analyzing data. This presentation will take place on Tuesday, February 28, at 3:50 p.m. in room 301 at the Moscone Convention Center.
• The Metric System: Why Meaningful Metrics Matter: Jaquith will join top executives from John Deere, White Hat Security and a leading financial services institution to discuss how meaningful security metrics can be used to improve enterprise security and to demonstrate business value. Drawing on the extensive experience of the panel, participants will explore practical examples that can enable real security improvements within their own organizations. This presentation will take place on Wednesday, February 29, at 10:40 a.m. in room 309 at the Moscone Convention Center.

Additionally, as co-founder of SecurityMetrics.org, Jaquith will co-host Mini-MetriCon 6.5 , a one-day, invitation-only event for security practitioners on Monday, February 27, at University of San Francisco. Through the cooperation of RSA, this invitation-only workshop will take place as part of RSA Conference 2012, and will facilitate the exchange of new ideas and practical experience in using metrics to drive better security, compliance and risk management.

John Viega, executive vice president of Perimeter E-Security and recognized application security expert will also be presenting at RSA Conference. The acclaimed security author and former McAfee CTO will present in the following panel discussions.

• Embedded Insecurity: What Lies Beneath: From cell phones to voting machines to pace makers to printers – embedded devices are everywhere. Although many are network-enabled, security has often been ignored. Viega will join experts from MSNBC.com, Columbia University and Accuvant in a panel discussion that will explore the state of embedded device security – and what it means for organizations today. This presentation will take place on Wednesday, February 29, at 8:00 a.m. in room 132 at the Moscone Convention Center.
• Vetting Mobile Apps for the Warfighter: Viega will join representatives from NIST, George Mason University, SAIC and the Naval Postgraduate School to explore the security challenges of the mobile apps revolution, and the state of the art practices and technologies that address those challenges. This panel will take place on Thursday, March 1, at 9:30 a.m. in room 305 at the Moscone Convention Center.

Additionally, Viega serves as editor-in-chief of IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine. The publication will host a high-caliber panel during the RSA Conference titled Innovation and Technology Transfer in Security: From the Lab to General Use. This distinguished panel of innovation experts and entrepreneurs will discuss how they make tech transfer work. Panelists include experts from Cigital, Fortify Software, National Science Foundation, Naval Postgraduate School and Cryptography Research. The panel discussion will take place on Wednesday, February 29, at 8:00 a.m. in room 310 at the Moscone Convention Center.
