Network Defence
Q&A

Are there holes in your network defence strategy?

What will you do if your network is hacked?

With the potential for harm to your brand, it's no wonder businesses are worried about their data.

From hackers to spam to viruses to DoS attacks, your network or website is constantly under attack. We want to hear about your concerns and help provide some answers.

Send your burning questions to jbrown@clbmedia.ca and we'll forward them on to DigitalDefence who will answer them in the pages of Canadian Security magazine.

Please send as much information as possible to allow DigitalDefence to analyze your question and come up with a detailed answer. The answer will be e-mailed to you directly and later be published in Canadian Security so others may benefit from your experience. Your company name will not be published.

We ask that your questions be limited to the field of network security, but other than that, anything's game.

Remember: There are no stupid questions, only safer networks.

The best three questions will receive an ipod!

2008 Security Director of the Year - Deadline is fast approaching!

Security directors and managers are often the unsung heroes in both the private and public sector in Canada. With responsibility for an ever-growing list of people and assets, the job of managing a security department is becoming one that demands not only a background in security, but also vital people skills as well as significant business and technological savvy.

Canadian Security Magazine is now accepting nominations for it's third annual Security Director of the Year award, sponsored by Anixter Canada. We want to find the individual who best exemplifies leadership and vision in the world of corporate security.

Do you work with someone who motivates and mentors his or her staff and provides inspiration on the job? Or do you know a colleague who has completed a unique initiative that has produced benefit not only to the security department but the entire company? Let us know. We are asking for specific criteria that will aid the judges in determining the winner. Please submit your nominations here. The deadline is May 30.
