NEW YORK, July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Ziff Davis Enterprise announced today that
it will hold its 2008 Fall Security Summit, "Dollars and Sense: Aligning 
Security Spending with Today's Biggest Threats," on October 21, 2008 at the
Fairmont Olympic Hotel in Seattle, WA.
Hosted by the editors of eWEEK, Baseline, and CIO Insight, the invitation-only
event will explore how to better focus IT security spending on new and
emerging high-risk threats. The key role of endpoint security in blunting
today's biggest threats will also be discussed. Specific topic areas will
include data theft by insiders and hackers, untrustworthy users and partners,
lost laptops, mobile devices and USB drives, spam e-mail, Web application and
browser hacks and much more. 
"The threat landscape is constantly changing. Yet many enterprises can't align
security spending with today's biggest dangers," said Joe Maglitta, Editorial
Director of Ziff Davis Enterprise Events and moderator for the Security
Summit. "Firewalls, anti-virus, and anti-malware aren't enough. The 2008 Fall
Ziff Davis Enterprise Security Summit will explore how organizations can
refocus and get the most from their security investments." 

The full-day program will provide practical strategic and tactical insights on
leveraging new practices, policies, and products that maximize protection for
every endpoint -- and the information behind it.

Tightly focused, highly interactive sessions feature top industry experts,
respected IT and business leaders, and no-nonsense peer-to-peer discussions on
key topics related to endpoint management and technology.

The event will kick off with a keynote presentation by Linda Cureton, Chief
Information Officer, NASA Goddard, entitled "Closing the Gap: The Crucial New
Role of Endpoint Security."

Other notable speakers include:

-- Robert Frank, Chief Information Security Officer, American Automobile
Association (AAA) NCNU
-- Jack Gold, Founder and Principal Analyst, J. Gold Associates
-- Russ McRee, Security Analyst / Researcher, holisticinfosec.org
-- Craig Mathias, Principal, Farpoint Group
-- Simone Seth, Director, PricewaterhouseCoopers
