Agenda

The secure enterprise of the future is flexible, dynamic, federated, assured and transparent – its critical data is protected and mission-essential processes persist in the face of determined, hostile attacks on its networks.  Security is an integral part of all organizational information processes and enterprise services.

To reach our vision, the Department of Defense is pursuing the goal of managing enterprise Information Assurance (IA) processes, services and assets within all global operating paradigms, under shortened decision cycles, and using new, innovative and dynamic information-age enterprise environments as an effective force multiplier.

Enterprise Security Management (ESM) provides the foundation to make information superiority a reality. Providing comprehensive services to manage IA across the enterprise, enables mission operators to tailor the enterprise for its full-spectrum of missions.

This conference will continue and focus the exchange of community perspectives which began at the September 2007 ESM Fall Festival to increase our understanding and awareness of ESM across both the public and private sectors by engaging government, industry and allies. 

This event promises to be stimulating and provocative through interactive presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.

ESM Defined

The information enterprise of the future is flexible, dynamic, federated, assured and transparent – its critical data is protected and mission-essential processes persist in the face of determined, hostile attacks. Security is integral to the enterprise, and the information services, business processes and mission operations that rely on them.

Enterprise Security Management (ESM) provides the foundation to optimize the enterprise for its intended use, whether in warfare or day-to-day business operations. Providing comprehensive services to manage IA across the enterprise enables operators to tailor the enterprise for the full spectrum of its uses.

The Department of Defense is pursuing a goal of managing enterprise Information Assurance (IA) processes, services, and assets within global operating paradigms, under shortened decision cycles, and applying new, innovative and dynamic information-age enterprise environments as an effective force multiplier. We are finding that these same underlying drivers, albeit within different operational settings, across the public and private sectors as well.

Industry and Government are seeking the same new technologies, practices, and approaches to policies that will institutionalize enterprise-wide security. Together, they pursue the promise of standard security solutions to which both the public and private sectors can subscribe.
