Inciting: Fortinet Webcast 4/11 - IM/P2P Security Roll Call

I'm pleased to be the featured speaker for two upcoming webcasts hosted by Fortinet on the topic of securing the instant messaging (IM) and peer-to-peer (P2P) applications. Here is the invitation:

IM/P2P Security Roll Call:
Protecting Your Network against Growing Threats

Instant Messaging (IM) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications are popular ways for students to stay in touch and exchange information. Do you understand the cost and security risk of these applications? If not, then you need to find out QUICK.

You’re invited to attend an information packed, fast-paced,
45-minute webinar that will give you the knowledge you need to effectively plan your IM/P2P security strategy.

Mike Rothman, President and Principal Analyst of Security Incite, will provide an industry view of IM and P2P, answering critical questions such as:

• Is IM good (or unavoidable at best)?
• Are there any positive uses of P2P?
• What are the security risks of both?
• What are some solution architectures to protect against the threats?

Chris Roeckl, Vice President of Marketing for Fortinet, will briefly present Fortinet’s integrated solutions for complete content protection and present a case study of how Fortinet’s education market customers are handling IM and P2P traffic. Fortinet's latest operating system FortiOS 3.0 includes new features and enhancements for IM/P2P threat management, including access control, monitoring & audit, antivirus, and attack prevention.
