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."
