What: On March 10, 2008, the Cisco chief security officer and corporate security education manager will host a live, interactive Internet TV broadcast to discuss new global research that reveals projected IT security spending for businesses in 2008 and how the "human side" of enterprise security challenges - risky online behavior - can affect the cost of doing business. This is the second of a two-part broadcast series highlighting the strategic role that IT and other employees can help play in making their businesses, networks and bottom lines more secure.

The broadcast will focus on how CIOs and their IT teams can be influential, proactive leaders in devising and implementing cost-conscious risk management approaches. The discussion will highlight:

• Research findings on projected changes in global IT security investments this year, with a discussion on the business security implications of proactive versus reactive spending
• The role of the IT department and opportunities for evolving from being a traditional cost center to working as a strategic partner with executive teams and employees
• Overview of the Cisco award-winning corporate security program, which encourages positive employee behavior and serves as a preventive measure against spending increases
• Top 10 tips for cultivating pervasive security awareness throughout an enterprise
• Live Q&A in which media and analysts can ask questions throughout the broadcast

Who: John N. Stewart, chief security officer for Cisco, and Mia Bradway Winter, senior awareness program manager of Cisco corporate security; hosted by Fred Kost, Cisco director of security solutions.
