Corporate Network Security for Banking and Financial Services

Oct 16, 2008 - Oct 17, 2008,
Washington, Distr. Columbia United States

Cyber crime is rated the Number 3 priority for the FBI, behind only counter terrorism and counter espionage.
Nearly 672 electronic records containing confidential information are compromised every 5 minutes. These compromises are caused by internet hackers as well as internal errors. Some exposure of data is accidental, caused by administrative errors, insider abuse, stolen equipment and the like. Other times it comes from cyber thieves or disgruntled employees.
With Cyber terrorism continuing to escalate for the U.S. government and businesses of all sizes, computer experts recommend companies take the necessary steps to protect their valuable data. Some companies find it hard to justify spending money on network security, especially large amounts, however the financial burden will most likely be much higher if they don’t protect themselves. Taking the necessary steps to defend themselves from hackers will not only help these companies protect themselves from criminals but also makes them less “attractive” to hackers and attacks.
Don’t miss this national forum focused on exploring the most advanced and aggressive corporate network security defenses leading to a safe and secure enterprise and saving companies from financial loss and public embarrassment. It will highlight the best case studies and most advanced tools and strategies for addressing network security from top industry leaders. Join us October 16-17, 2008 in Washington, DC, for a gathering of CSO’s, CTO’s, directors and managers. This two-day strategic business forum will explore security issues such as data leakage, protection for the mobile worker and company-wide security awareness programs.

Oct 16, 2008 - Oct 18, 2008,
Fundação Eng. Antonio de Almeida Porto Portugal

The European Society of Cardiac Radiology was founded in 1999 and is one of the youngest societies of the European Association of Radiology. The last decade of the 20th century showed turbulent CT and MRI developments in the field of Cardiac Radiology. These formed the true stimuli for the foundation of the society. It was already then decided that the orientation of the society should not be directed by imaging modalities. All different forms of diagnostic cardiac radiology should be harboured and presented in the educational and annual scientific meetings of the society in a broad European platform, at which all the European countries are represented. Furthermore, the ESCR should develop a structural interaction with all related medical cardiac disciplines and address topics at its meetings, which start with the clinical problem. All new developments in cardiovascular medicine have to be highlighted in continuous updates such as in pathology and chronology of cardiovascular disease, epidemiology of CAD, valve disease, risk stratification, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmia's, congenital heart disease, disease of the aorta and large vessels, and heart failure.
