Southport to Present at MicroStrategy World 2011
Learn How Southport Helped one of the Largest Commercial Banks in the World Evaluate and Leverage MicroStrategy Integrity Manager to Shorten Testing Cycles
ASHBURN, VA, November 4, 2010—Southport Services Group, LLC, a management and IT consulting company specializing in business intelligence, announced today that it has agreed to be a Gold Sponsor at MicroStrategy World 2011. In addition to hosting an exhibit at the conference, cyber-security expert Dr. Eric Cole will be discussing cyber security threats facing business intelligence solutions and what companies need to do to defend against them.
Cyber security is in the news everyday—hackers taking down well known websites with denial-of-service attacks, foreign interests infiltrating US government computer systems, well organized hacking crews infiltrating banks and financial institutions. “As business intelligence applications continue to increase in importance and scope, they represent a prime target for individuals looking for ways to gain unauthorized access to data for personal, financial or competitive gain. This topic does not get the attention it needs in the business intelligence space. We are pleased to have Dr. Cole help us raise awareness and what is an emerging and critical issues for business intelligence.”
Dr. Cole is a bonafide security industry expert who has authored several books including “Hackers Beware,” “Hiding in Plain Site,” “Network Security Bible,” and “Insider Threat.” He is a member of President Obama’s Cyber Security Council.
