Direct from our Forums

IANS hosts six, 2-day Information Security Forums throughout the United States every year. IANS produces three types of research deliverables from each Forum.

Voices from the Field slides reflect the current sentiment of security practitioners today. They are formatted in Microsoft Powerpoint to allow marketing directors to use them directly in internal presentations.

Solution Provider Briefings are created by the IANS writing team at the conclusion of Day 1 proceedings, and are presented to Forum sponsors the next morning. They reflect the high points of the confidential roundtable discussions IANS moderates at each Forum.

A Summary of Findings is delivered to the delegate base of each Forum approximately two weeks after the Forum. This summary is a full accounting of all the sessions held at each forum, and goes into much more detail about the current issues facing security professionals today.
