Entitled "How to Combat Identity Theft and Data Loss," Lauffin's session will be part of the conference's Data Protection/Security Track. The presentation will feature a best-practices approach to improving privacy through secure encryption processes, eliminating unauthorized access via security breaches and attacks, and managing fixed content and reference data from its creation to the end of its lifecycle.

"There's nothing scarier than to hear about identity theft and data loss in the news and know that with the right technology it is all preventable," said Lauffin. "That's why it seems entirely appropriate that I'll be spending Halloween treating attendees to the tricks of securing their companies' mission-critical information. Everyone will leave my presentation knowing how they can implement available technology within their existing storage environments without having to invest in multiple heterogeneous data management solutions."

Nexsan's leadership in data protection solutions led to the development of the Assureon(TM) Secure Storage Appliance -- a scalable plug-and-play appliance that delivers the highest levels of data security by combining hardware-accelerated data encryption with remote data replication and integrated information lifecycle management (ILM). The Assureon is built around a "hardened" disk-based archive with an elite set of storage applications designed to meet the customer's backup, disaster recovery, security and compliance standards while delivering fast, easy and continuous access to fixed-content data at the lowest possible cost per terabyte. This de-duplication functionality extends Assureon's backup appliance operations to control the number of instances of a file in the store.

Storage Networking World is the largest educational forum for IT professionals involved in enterprise storage management. Storage Networking World features tutorials as well as business and technical tracks for end users that address real-world storage concerns and their solutions.
