Press Review: Oman Seminar
Mustard to Run Security Seminar in Oman
Hosted by Central Bank on 24th February 2009
Mustard are pleased to have been invited to run a security seminar at the Grand Hyatt in Muscat, Oman on the 24th February 2009. The seminar will be attended by banks and security experts to gain knowledge of the current best practices for risk mitigation in the banking sector.
The workshop will be run by Dave Marsh, Managing Director of Mustard, who has over 15 years of experience in the IT security industry . Mustard’s in-depth experience of best security practice in financial and commercial services gives a unique insight into the threat from organised crime, disgruntled employees or non-malicious activity. Marsh comments 'The complexities of modern-day software combined with an evolving IT infrastructure, provides a recipe for potential compromise and theft. We help organisations mitigate risk by applying best practice – that is itself evolving as e-crime becomes ever more sophisticated'
Strong focus on the world financial markets, particularly in the past few months has put these markets under the spotlight from a security and regulatory perspective. There is a pent-up demand for quality security services to highlight vulnerabilities and provide guidance on establishing processes and procedures to satisfy regulatory compliance
'Organisations need to ensure they have the correct checks and balances in place to protect themselves from the bad guys and that is exactly what Mustard can provide. IT architectures are typically highly complex and have grown over many years to the point where it becomes relatively easy for unscrupulous manipulation of applications and data to occur. Complexity usually means there are security issues. Our experience shows that many organisations don't implement best practice. ‘We assist senior management to mitigate risk with practical solutions to protect their brand, reputation, employees and customers' comments Dave Marsh
