Trusted Computing Group and Members to Demonstrate Trusted Computing in Action at Security Forum; Sessions Include Discussion of Hardware- versus Software-Based Encryption at Leading Boston Healthcare Provider
Portland, Ore., Aug. 23, 2010 -- Trusted Computing Group (TCG) and member companies Juniper Networks and Wave Systems will demonstrate the trusted enterprise at Forrester's Security Forum 2010, Sept. 16-17, 2010 at the Westin Copley Place, Boston, Mass.
Boston Medical Center's Network Security Engineer Mark Mulvaney will speak at the event's Guest Executive Forum on "Encryption: Hardware or Software? Lessons from the Field" on Sept. 16, 3:00 - 3:30 p.m., based on the center's experiences with data protection.
Attendees can see Trusted Computing in action with today's widely available products in TCG's Booth #208.
Wave will demonstrate its EMBASSY® Client/Server software that provides policy-based access controls, centralized administration and proof of compliance when used with self-encrypting drives based on Trusted Computing Group's OPAL specification. The demo will include initialization, management and user authentication of a self-encrypting drive and password recovery.
Juniper Networks will demonstrate a day in the life of an enterprise enabled by TCG's Trusted Network Connect architecture, as implemented in the Juniper Networks Unified Access Control (UAC) solution for adaptive, identity-enabled network and application access control. Key elements include linking data leak prevention with network access based on the TCG IF-MAP specification; authentication and compliance to corporate policies; differentiated employee, guest worker and contractor access; and maintenance of employees' systems to ensure compliance with security policies.
