A computer virus spreading beyond Earth to the International Space Station and a hacker intrusion into the Large Hadron Collider computer network illustrate how IT security, or rather a lack of it, can endanger major human undertakings, whether due to human error or negligence, technical failure, or faulty design. With new attack vectors and vulnerabilities being discovered on a daily basis, IT security has come to the fore for every business striving to protect its investments. Furthermore, new technologies such as Web 2.0, widespread mobile solutions, and new regulatory requirements create additional demands on IT security across all sectors.

IDC’s IT Security Roadshow has established itself as a flagship regional event providing a platform for the exchange of ideas, sharing of experience, and discussion on best practices among independent experts, analysts, industry leaders, and users of IT security solutions.

In addition to its traditional stops in major cities across Central and Eastern Europe, IDC’s IT Security Roadshow has expanded for 2009 into major new business centers in the east of the region.
