Seminar on information security

McAfee and South Asian Technologies recently hosted an Intelligent Security event in Colombo. Over one-hundred CIOs, CSOs and IT managers from Sri Lanka were present.

The event was to educate people on using situational awareness technologies to get real time actionable insight out of their security systems, thereby enabling organisations to make proactive and intelligent security decisions.

Managing Director, McAfee - India and SAARC, Jagdish Mahapatra stressed the need for a connected security strategy and a robust situational analysis framework among organisations in Sri Lanka.

A South Asian Technologies spokesman said that Etisalat Lanka has deployed McAfee Enterprise Security Manager (ESM), one of McAfee's key situational awareness solution offerings in the SIEM segment.

Chief Executive Officer, South Asian Technologies (Pvt) Ltd, Sanjaya Padmaperuma said, "With the influx of mature cyber-attacks, information security has become a big data analytics issue for CIOs to have better visibility on the adversarial actions in their security systems and predict future attacks."
