(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:03102008
Maidenhead, UK -- FAST Corporate Services Ltd, the Membership
organisation providing education, training and consulting programmes
around IT compliance to UKbusinesses has announced today that it has
two exciting events coming up in the next few months.
With companies such as Microsoft, Adobe and Symantec auditing at an
ever-increasing rate, it is becoming absolutely necessary to be licence
compliant with all software. And, with the tightening economic climate,
compliance is not only important for those organisations who are
under-licensed and run the risk of getting a hefty fine, but also for
those companies which are over-licensed with 41 percent of UK
businesses admitting to wasting thousands of pounds every year doing
just that. IT security is also rising up the corporate agenda and
organisations must understand the legislation relevant to IT security
and how they must comply.
FAST is holding two free seminars to help organisations get to grips
with the legal requirements around IT security and understand key
issues around compliance, licensing and SAM.
