The ITAM Review US Conference 2017

SAM intelligence in Cyber Security Warfare
The Pentagon thought their cyber security policies were impenetrable, so they held a Hackathon. 1,410 Hackers found 1,189 vulnerabilities.
Everyone is vulnerable – even the Pentagon.
SAM is crucial to Cyber Security work and yet rarely included in any Cyber function or activities in the organisations we work with. Why is this?
Attend this session to discover how the valuable skills and data intelligence of Software Asset Management can reduce the median time to detect cyber infiltration in your environments.
Come and meet Filipa and attend her expert session at The University of South Florida on 27th & 28th September.
