Put 9/11 lessons to work within your enterprise

Dear Security, No recent event illustrates the vulnerability of your security infrastructure more profoundly than the 9/11 terrorist attack on the United States. While pronounced inadequacies continue to percolate on a macro level, consider this: How are 9/11 lessons and implications affecting your business objectives? How are you preparing your organization to effectively address future security issues? Get answers to these questions and more when you attend '9/11: Six Years Later' at The Security Standard, September 10-11 in Chicago. Through this special town-meeting style session, you'll walk away with insights from top 9/11 security experts that you can directly apply to your enterprise. Engage, Learn, Contribute On all levels, what have we "fixed" since 9/11 and what remains broken? How do you assess the value of a strong working relationship between government and the private sector? What shortcomings today leave critical infrastructures vulnerable? What improvements can be made to align, fortify, and expedite enterprise and government security interests? What new issues and threats are evolving from the current political climate? '9/11: Six Years Later' is just one topic to be covered at The Security Standard, an event created for the sole purpose of bringing security leaders together to collaborate on the critical business issues they face and to learn from the collective wisdom of their peers. Unlike other conferences that merely provide analysts' opinions, The Security Standard delivers awareness and understanding from those with first-hand experience.
