Jacobs' presentation will discuss the following topics:

The increased convergence of viruses and spam and how
organizations must move to more integrated solutions that deal with
the variety and complexity of today's rapidly evolving threats

How organizations need to think of security as a process, not
just a set of products by incorporating policies and technologies
wherever they can be most effective

The unified approach to securing the network - Where common
practice for organizations to deliberately use products from
different vendors at different tiers, this session will advocate
the necessity of a unified approach
