As part of ASG's commitment to continue The Great Conversation, we asked each attendee three critical questions related to current trends, technology, leadership and collaboration within the security industry.

This year's Summit, as in past years, was about conversations.  Whether it was peer to peer, speaker to sponsor or host to attendee, conversations about our industry was a crucial point to the day's agenda.

Were you part of the The Great Conversation at the 2011 ASG Summit?  This year we heard from top industry leaders that a shift in thinking is underway in the entire security industry.  An example of one of those shifts and a major trend that we heard about is that the "C Suite" is beginning to embrace security as an integral part of the business landscape.  Executives are starting to see how security can be leveraged to measure and reduce the overall risk to an organization.  Considering recent world events, this shift in thinking couldn't be more timely.

The Great Conversation™, which grew out of the ASG Security Summit & Expo and Security Executive Council, is a place where all members of the security community can share honest insights to improve the strategic value of security in each business and organization.

The challenge for any leader in any industry is how to navigate change. Change will impact their people, their business model, their processes, and, ultimately, the value of their organization.
