Keeping IT and communications systems secure, reliable and fast is a massively growing challenge, with more hackers, more demands for communications speed, more complexity and more demands for mobile devices. IT managers often feel like they are the last to know about new projects, yet are required to get office standard communications infrastructure working quickly in remote parts of the world. This event looked at the latest practise and technology to achieve it, including ISA99, unified communications networks, maintaining security and being prepared for the future.
Part of our 2014 Aberdeen Offshore Data Week - subsea data, engineering data, IT infrastructure
Topics we will cover; maintaining security, reliability, keeping costs down, achieving fast deployment, finding the balance between security and usability, managing mobile phones, unified communications architecture
Event history - we previously ran this event in May 2013 and June 2012.

Talk Description.
Encrypting your data is the foundation to protecting your assets. But what else can you do to ensure seamless access for authorized users, while keeping everyone else out?
When volumes of seismic images alone can amount to over one terabyte an hour, you need a robust solution designed to keep your data safe while ensuring the efficiency you require.
Summary: Managing vast amounts of sensitive data from seismic images, financial and legal records, and other critical intellectual property, energy and petrochemical companies organizations' assets are attractive to criminal organizations, nation-states, and malicious insiders. Your organizations are prime targets for cybercrime because of the high geopolitical and monetary value of the digital assets you manage.
So how do you keep your storage secure? Encrypting your data is the foundation to protecting your assets. But what else can you do to ensure seamless access for authorized users, while keeping everyone else out? When volumes of seismic images alone can amount to over one terabyte an hour, you need a robust solution designed to keep your data safe while ensuring the efficiency you require.
