IBM Security Guardium

I have traveled the globe and seen a consistent approach to data security that centers around checkbox compliance and not security. To get straight to the point, this is precisely why coming to Master Skills University in Munich is worthwhile.

Specific technologies come and go. What’s more important in the long term are approach, adoption, automation, integration and process. And you can learn how to build a valuable program not only from IBM experts but also, and maybe more importantly, from other users – even if they’re competitors.

Data security is like a village with everyone leading a hand. After all, the same data may exist at a lot of clients. If one client has an issue protecting data then that may trickle down to your customers data. They are the same people, with the same data and use a lot of the same information across services they use.

For these reasons I encourage you to come and learn from the best, interact with other clients who are faced with the same challenges. At Master Skills you’ll get to engage with IBMers and business partners and learn best practices and the ins and outs of how to progress from compliance to real security.

And now a bit more on what you can expect from the Guardium track…

The Guardium track offers users a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn from the teams who build, deploy, and support Guardium every day. This week-long deep-dive education experience includes the latest product updates, hands-on labs, interactive discussions on best practices and advanced workflows, and more offered by IBM Guardium experts.

You will gain deep exposure to untapped functionality, share tips and best practices with your peers, and better prepare yourself to achieve your 2019 security goals and beyond.

And the timing of Master Skills University — Sept. 9-13 — is perfect. We’re at the stage where the GDPR gloves are coming off, and now is the time to learn how to help you organization avoid heavy fines, protect and manage your intellectual property, highly confidential corporate information and especially your customer's data.
