Quotes:
"Security vitality is a combination of measuring the right things and
engaging in healthful protection practices. Vital signs focus on critical,
meaningful security metrics. Healthful protection includes proper doses of
data security, network security, and organizational controls."
-- Trent Henry, VP and research director, Burton Group
"Governance, Risk, and Compliance management (GRC) is a broad, ill-defined
term and drives a large amount of market messaging. These sessions will
bring clarity to the processes of GRC, how to reflect business value, and
where automation makes sense."
-- Bob Blakley, VP and research director, Burton Group
