Governmentware 2010

A Premium Infocomm Security Conference Established in Asia!

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), Singapore, will once again host Governmentware, an annual event since 1991. This conference and exhibition will be held from 28 to 30 September 2010 at the Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Centre.

The theme for this year's Governmentware is "Strategic Security: Finding the right balance", and focuses on the importance of adopting the correct strategy for IT security in today's fast-changing infocomm environment. In particular, with the advent of advanced persistent threats (APT) that target governments, companies and other groups, it has become increasingly evident that cyber criminals and cyber spies can and will attack their target networks. Cyber attacks are no longer a matter of "if", but rather "when", and sometimes, successful attacks may stay undetected for periods of time, during which much damage is done. As such, organisations need to more proactively minimise the opportunities for cyber threats, rather than react only after compromise. A fundamental rethink of organisations' IT security architectures may be necessary. In doing so, however, there is still a need for organisations to balance between security, and organisational goals, usability and cost.
