Ms Ng encourages people to attend ISWec 2012 as it does not only provide a strategic platform for buyers and sellers to conduct their networking but it aims to equip its visitors with the latest internal and external informational security threats via effective management through people, processes and technologies.
“JFPS believes that organizing ISWec 2012 comes timely with the recent spike of data leakage and data breached. According to study, one in five organizations experienced the loss off sensitive data in the past 12 months, while 32 percent reported likely data loss. This is a serious trend as sensitive information is an asset that should not be fallen or exposed to third party for economic gain in the black market. ISWec 2012 also aims to gather different viewpoints from the participating countries to fortify our measure to keep our data safe and secured,” explained Ms. Ng.
