Does America's Next "Road to Prosperity" lie in Rural Sourcing?
An InformationWeek Webcast

The view is better up here: breaking through barriers to Cloud
An InformationWeek Webcast

Ask three people what Cloud is, and you will likely get three different answers. Between the hype, misunderstanding and the level of technical sophistication it can involve, this is not entirely surprising. Cloud is a new IT delivery model which is built leveraging existing infrastructure elements that have not fundamentally changed in years. In Cloud services however, these elements are fused together in a new way that truly re-imagines what an IT operation can be. As is true of any disruptive event, there are benefits as well as challenges. Benefits include new business opportunities, boosts to productivity and new process efficiencies. Challenges include control, security and governance, migration costs, and changes to business processes.

In this webcast, you will learn how to think about the real and perceived barriers to the cloud, with considerations including:

• appropriate applications to move to the cloud
• approach for migrating to a cloud
• regulatory and compliance consideration

The IBM X-Force 2011 Trend Report: Combat data security threats
A Dark Reading Webcast

Join Tom Cross, threat intelligence manager for IBM X-Force^®, as he discusses the latest results from the "IBM X-Force 2011 Trend and Risk Report", an in-depth analysis of public vulnerability disclosures findings from more than 4,000 clients, and the monitoring and analysis of an average of 13 billion events daily in 2011.

"X-Force 2011 Trend and Risk Report" shows surprising improvements in several areas of Internet security such as a reduction in application security vulnerabilities, exploit code and spam. However, sophisticated threats facing IT security professionals are increasing in frequency and complexity. Attackers constantly adapt their techniques to evade new security measures, easily bypassing traditional perimeter defenses such as firewalls, IDS/IPS and anti-virus systems to get to your organization's sensitive data.

In this comprehensive webcast, you'll learn about increases in key areas of attack activity and how to combat them, including:

• Cybercriminal activity: Financially-motivated cybercriminals, state-sponsored espionage groups, hacktivists and insiders will continue to become more savvy and opportunistic.
• SQL injection: Continues to be a favorite attack vector among malicious groups.
IT loophole attacks: Attackers are bypassing existing security methods to gain access given the interconnected nature of the Internet and information systems as well as enterprise ERP, CRM, and custom business applications.
• Attacks targeting shell command injection vulnerabilities more than doubled in 2011. These vulnerabilities allow the attacker to execute commands directly on a web server.
• Spike in automated password guessing: Poor passwords and password policies have played a role in a number of high-profile breaches during 2011.
• Attacks on emerging technologies: With the evolution of cloud computing social networks and mobile devices, attackers found new opportunities to hone their skills and extend their exploits to take advantage of these new technologies.
• What countermeasures can be used? Database protection mandates and compliance requirements including implementing specific controls and tighter business processes are required by organizations to address risk and help ensure security.

Eric Naiburg, Program Director, Information Governance Solutions Product Marketing Strategy, will present case studies and product demo examples showing how enterprises have implemented IBM InfoSphere Guardium data security solutions to help secure sensitive databases and reduce compliance costs.

All attendees will receive a complimentary report.

Engaging Online Financial Services Customers -- Best practices in implementing online chat
An InformationWeek Webcast

With the advent of Internet banking, financial institutions actively moved their customers online -- a powerful change, but one that rendered them anonymous. The loss of personal relationships weakened customer retention, and as a result, institutions now strive to restore a human element online. In this webcast we will discuss the challenges inherent in online service and the opportunities to leverage technology to rebuild relationships with online customers. Online chat -- particularly site-based video chat -- offers an opportunity to engage customers at key service points, provide face-to-face service to high-touch accounts, and differentiate your online financial services.

Join Bank Systems & Technology, Netop, and Forrester Research for a free one-hour webcast that explores how banks and credit unions are using online chat to improve conversions and online banking satisfaction. We will be discussing:

• Trends in online customer retention rates
• The benefits of proactive chat for customer acquisition
• Successful deployments of video chat by banks and credit unions

Future Proofing your Video Communication Strategy
An InformationWeek Webcast

It is no question that there has been a significant increase in the usage of video conferencing in enterprise businesses. It is predicted that in 2012 nearly 75% of companies will integrate video conferencing solutions. So as you start to deploy your video communication strategy or reassess your current one, it is important to understand a few key factors that will help you "future proof" your plan.

Historically, video communication has been viewed as a painful and expensive initiative. IT leaders are now being asked to provide a video conferencing solution that has the ability to scale and grow with the business instead of prohibiting it. As businesses become more global, workers begin to telecommute, and BYOD is the new standard, these solutions no longer meet the demands of the business. The need for interoperability is more vital than ever before. The recent advancements in consumer, desktop, and enterprise collaboration tools force us to connect multiple devices at any given time.

In this webinar, Blue Jeans Network Chief Commercial Officer Stu Aaron will explore:

• What is interoperability and how has it changed the game for video conferencing?
• How BYOD and the increase in video conferencing on desktops will affect your capacity and bandwidth.
• Benefits of using a SaaS based cloud solution to bridge your current video conferencing devices.

Top 10 Reasons to Put Your Phone System in the Cloud
An InformationWeek Webcast

We'd like to invite you to join us for a free webinar about the top 10 reasons to put your phone system in the cloud. Here are a few:

• Mobility -- People just don't work the way they used to. Office phones must be smart enough to connect you with co-workers, prospects and customers no matter where you (or they) happen to be.
• Disaster Recovery -- You likely have a disaster recovery plan for your data systems, but do you have one for your phones? Redundancy with on premise systems is complicated and expensive, so a lot of companies just don't do it and learn to regret it after disaster strikes.
• Intelligence -- Do you know how often a client or prospect calls you, but it unable to reach a "real" person? With the right tools, you can tell exactly how many calls reach a person, regardless of which line is called or how many auto-attendants are used to direct the call.
• Integration -- Integrating popular business information systems like Salesforce.com or Netsuite, provides your business with the ability to manage client relationships, maximize resource utilization and improve operational efficiency.

Even if you aren't looking for a phone system today, please join us to get a new prospective on what's possible and what's coming next.

The Business Value of Data Quality -- Getting the Most out of Your Investments in Data Warehousing and Data Analytics
An InformationWeek Webcast

While the business value of data warehouses and data analytics is generally understood, what is often less obvious is the business value of maintaining high quality data that these solutions rely upon. With today's massive data volumes, manual checking and cleansing data is a practical impossibility. Automated systems that can identify quality issues, fix them, and monitor on-going quality are essential.

There is no topic more controversial in today's marketplace than high-frequency trading. Regulators are still wrestling with how to officially define the practice, let alone police it.

Firms with longer-term, low-turnover strategies remain suspicious of high-frequency traders, while others hold the view that if it weren't for HFTs, there'd be no liquidity. Join this Advanced Trading Editorial webcast to hear experts from both sides of the issue debate whether HFT is good or bad for the market, and to hear a proposal on how to fix our market's structure for the better.
