Jacobs' presentation will discuss the following topics:
The increased convergence of viruses and spam and how organizations must move to more integrated solutions that deal with the variety and complexity of today's rapidly evolving threats
How organizations need to think of security as a process, not just a set of products by incorporating policies and technologies wherever they can be most effective
The unified approach to securing the network - Where common practice for organizations to deliberately use products from different vendors at different tiers, this session will advocate the necessity of a unified approach
