SSH to Address Enterprise Risk Management at the 2004 e-Financial WorldExpo
SSH Communications Security (HEX:SSH1V), a world-leading developer of managed security middleware, today announced that SSH Senior Marketing Manager Byron Rashed has been selected to speak at this year's e-Financial WorldExpo as a panel discussion moderator. The discussion will take place on Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. at the National Trade Center in Toronto, Canada.
Often times, today's security approaches fall short of providing complete protection for data and information because they typically focus on protection against external threats. Managed security middleware is a new approach for protecting data communications end-to-end. Operating between the applications and the IT infrastructure, it provides security against both internal and external risks. According to Gartner, employees commit more than 70 percent of unauthorized access to information systems, and account for more than 95 percent of intrusions that result in significant financial losses. Rashed will emphasize the importance of internal security and the managed security middleware solution.
Rashed has 20 years of industry experience leading global marketing programs for a variety of companies. As senior marketing manager for SSH Communications Security,
Inc. of Los Altos, Calif., he is responsible for overseeing U.S. marketing operations and strategies. Prior to SSH, he led the marketing communications staff at VPNet Technologies, where he established corporate strategies for company positioning. Prior to VPNet, Rashed managed the marketing department at EPICO, where he initiated new technology programs for CRM and e-commerce using ASPs. Rashed earned a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of New York.
