What: "Gain Control Over the Internet"


Threats to online operations include Denial of Service attacks, application-level penetration, protocol exploits, viruses, worms, physical disasters, and system failure. While point solutions can be employed to address individual threats, one single solution provides an effective means of mitigating all such risks in a highly effective manner, while also improving performance and scalability: a globally distributed applications infrastructure. Enterprises and government agencies can today take advantage of a distributed applications infrastructure to secure their online perimeter.

In its 13th year, the RSA Conference brings together IT professionals, developers, policy makers, industry leaders and academics to share information and exchange ideas on technology trends and best practices in information security, cryptography, and related topics.
