This two part interactive demo with cover the following:
Tips and Trick for Application Virtualization
As application virtualization becomes more prevalent in production environments, we are beginning to move beyond simple stand-alone applications and into production applications. Production applications tend to be built on top of various frameworks (.NET, Java, etc.) as well as using low level system components (services and drivers). In this lab you will learn techniques that will help you virtualize complex applications, as well as how to configure applications to properly use dependencies and framework components. The lab will also address standard application virtualization best practices for even those simple stand-alone applications.
How To Simplify Application Management with Streaming
In the dynamic and ever changing environment of today's enterprise, a flexible and automated method to provide software employees need to perform their daily duties is a must. The mobility and diversity of the end user community presents a challenge for traditional methods of software delivery.
This lab will demonstrate the how application streaming will provide a more versatile platform for delivering applications to an end user community as well as mange the lifecycle of these applications in the enterprise. Attendees will gain an understanding of provisioning applications to AD users and Groups, license management and license optimization. Exercises include uploading application packages to the Symantec Workspace Streaming Server, setting rules for streaming, License management and license harvesting. Advanced features such as file association streaming and dependency streaming will also be included.

Risk Management and Remediation
Kurt Van Etten, Symantec
Stephen Brown, Arellia
Dan McManus, Arellia
Effective IT Risk Management: Translate, Influence, Act
Today's security leaders face a tough challenge. Executive teams are increasing their attention to IT risks and security measures as a result of high profile cyber threats. Yet, most security leaders struggle to articulate IT risk in a way their executive teams can understand. And more importantly, few are able to demonstrate measureable risk reduction within their organizations.
Effective IT risk management requires security leaders to move beyond IT risk at the technology and device level. Rather, it is necessary to translate IT risk and map it to critical processes and groups within their organizations. From there, security leaders can drive the awareness and accountability they need to act on the critical risks that threaten their organizations.
This session will present Symantec's approach to IT risk management, and illustrate how you can use the new capabilities in Symantec Control Compliance Suite 11.0 to more effectively manage IT risk in your organization.
