(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080204/BIT9LOGO )
The proliferation of unapproved applications and devices onto corporate
desktops and computer systems is creating costly management and security
issues for IT professionals. Faced with the ever present need to monitor
download activity and maintain secure networks, IT and security professionals
are seeking alternative approaches to manage and control their endpoints.
This session will address how whitelisting is being used by traditional
antivirus vendors as well as newer pure play security vendors. Bit9's
Director of Research, Mario Vuksan, will address the different definitions
and interpretations of whitelisting and how it is being used on today's
corporate endpoints.
