Executive Director of eema, Roger Dean comments on the ISSE 2008 conference programme, "This year we are focusing on the education of security best practice, placing special emphasis on case studies to share how innovative and robust solutions are currently being implemented by European organisations."
Explaining the reason for attending ISSE, Research In Motion's (RIM) Scott Totzke states, "ISSE is a great opportunity for us to get together with our European customers and understand the unique concerns they have when it comes to information security and mobility." He continues, "We always learn something new here, as the European perspective on security is different from the North American one. So it is a great opportunity for us to find out what are the real issues and trends facing our European customers and how do they differ from the ones that are facing other countries in the world.".
