Some 180 IT experts from 18 countries will be attending the conference in Munich.
Innsbruck / Munich: Barracuda Networks, a leading manufacturer of security, storage and networking solutions will today play host to more than 180 experienced IT professionals at its Technical Conference which kicks off today, May 3rd - 4th in Munich. The event which is being held under the motto: "Where Technology matters" reflects the fact that more technologies than ever before are required to protect companies effectively against attacks - both internal and external - as well as to safeguard IT processes and corporate communications on a 24/7 basis as the internet continues to gain momentum.
The "social user" and employee who cavorts on social networking sites during working hours and prefers to use his own private smartphone whilst in the field for work ("bring your own device"), does not exactly make it easier to protect information and communications technologies in companies.
In 2012 social media opens up the doors for malware, spyware, fraud and data theft, sometimes causing damage worth millions for the affected companies.
Barracuda Networks broaches and discusses effective protective mechanisms and long-term IT strategies with its guests, who are - as IT users with practical experience- outstanding experts on Barracuda Networks products and technologies.
The event will be dominated by presentations about successful reference projects, practical hands-on workshops and seminars. The subjects covered include the optimization of the Wide Area Network by the Barracuda NG Firewall, VPN routing, user access control and content security – social networks and mobile devices.
