Woking, Surrey: 24/2/14 - The diversity of the Conference Program at this year’s Infosecurity Show mirrors the sheer breadth of challenges facing IT staff today, claimed Ian Kilpatrick, chairman of exhibitor Wick Hill Group. “The range and nature of threats,” he commented, “has continued to evolve, while the old threats still remain, with criminal and issue-based attackers being both skilled and well-funded.”

Kilpatrick thinks that the working environment is changing at its fastest rate since the early 80s, with mobility and wireless forcing change more quickly than many organisations can cope with.

“Insider threats have become harder to defend against,” he said, “while increased complexity has reduced overall security visibility. Alongside this, regulation and big data continue to demand attention.”

Kilpatrick warned show visitors that despite the shrill claims of some suppliers, there is no single universal panacea for this range of challenges. The sheer breadth of security issues, he stressed, needs a breadth of solutions.
