Defending Your Network:  Keeping Your Customers & Company Safe From Growing Internet Security Risks.

Internet security is more elusive than ever before, but how do businesses protect their networks from malicious code and cyber criminals that can turn their computers into zombies or hijack networks and render them useless, steal valuable corporate data and pillage customer information?  With increasingly mobile workforces armed with laptops and more sinister programs on the prowl, protecting your network from threats, both internal and external, is more challenging than ever before. 

Participants of the Data Minds led session were able to learn of the latest approaches to combat cyber threats.  They were able to take home the "6 Steps" to securing their networks and businesses but also understand the importance of disaster recovery and business continuity planning.

The business paradigm is changing and technology is the driving force. From small retailers to global corporations, workplace innovations are revolutionizing every business function and delivering unparalleled competitive advantages. However, the sheer volume of new workplace technologies and how quickly they evolve make it difficult for business owners and managers to stay ahead of the curve.

The Pennsylvania Business Technology Conference was developed in 2006 to address these challenges and to help small- to medium-sized businesses across the Commonwealth make smart IT decisions that improve their productivity, performance and profitability.

This educational summit will showcase technological and business innovations.

Learn how technology can:

• Drive sales
  
• Lower operational costs
• Deliver valuable competitive advances
• Transform your business

You'll learn how to:

• Evaluate, deploy and manage emerging business technologies
• Streamline operations, improve productivity and customer satisfaction
