SANS Tool Talk Webcast: Desktop Security - A Multi-Layered Approach to Protecting Your Investment

Overview This informative Webcast hosted by The SANS Institute explores the threat environment that host systems face and addresses the confusion surrounding desktop technology. In addition it fully examines the available desktop security technologies in an attempt to determine which solution is right for you and which can be trusted to truly combat the threats you face.

SANS Institute's Tool Talks are opportunities for you to hear from Information Security Vendors. SANS believes that you cannot accomplish Information Security tasks without tools. A surprising number of security professionals have no idea what technology is available in the marketplace. Tool Talks are designed to give you a solid understanding of a problem, and how a vendor's commercial tool can be used to solve or mitigate that problem.
