Half-day Seminar and Demos to Address Trust and Security in Storage, Networks, Cloud Computing and Mobile Devices

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Trusted Computing Group (TCG), a worldwide open industry standards organization, will host its popular annual half-day seminar at the RSA Conference as part of the conference’s Association Events schedule.

“In a world where users routinely and unknowingly surrender personal information and choice, TCG and its members provide industry-accepted security solutions to any platform.”

“The Paradox of Security: Is the Status Quo Acceptable?” will be held Monday, Feb. 27, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. in Esplanade Room 301-303, Moscone Center, San Francisco. The session will include a number of sessions and a boxed lunch, as well as demonstrations of widely available network security solutions, self-encrypting drives and systems protected with the Trusted Platform Module, all based on TCG specifications.

Attendees will learn more about using a hardware root of trust as an anchor for data leak and malware prevention; platform integrity; device and user identity; and network access for fixed and mobile devices used enterprise-wide.

“Chaos currently rules in the security market,” notes Brian Berger, Trusted Computing Group director and marketing work group chair. “In a world where users routinely and unknowingly surrender personal information and choice, TCG and its members provide industry-accepted security solutions to any platform.”

The program will include discussion by worldwide enterprises about using self-encrypting drives (SEDs), automating security and security for the bring-your-own-device trend.

Users and security experts also will address cloud security topics including compliance, data centers and visibility into the cloud and mobile device security. Speakers include:
