"Database breaches aren’t theoretical; they happen regularly and the implications are dramatic," said Ted Julian, Vice President, Strategy and Marketing for Application Security, Inc. "This Webinar will go far beyond the headlines, however, offering a unique perspective on how such breaches occur and what organizations can do to protect themselves."

Michael Malin, Executive Vice President of MANDIANT, offered this perspective, "When considering how to protect information assets, we recommend our customers focus on both a proactive and responsive approach to data security. What that means is not only trying to prevent a breach, but having a plan in place for what to do if and when an incident occurs. Providing this leading-edge seminar is one of the ways we can help companies stay on top of best practices."
