FRAMINGHAM, MA--(Marketwire - January 24, 2011) - CSO magazine, IDG's security media brand providing insight into business risk leadership, gathers top cybercrime experts and senior security executives together at CSO Perspectives on April 5-7, 2011, at The Naples Grande in Naples, Fla., to brainstorm new strategies for achieving secure global business.
CSO Perspectives 2011 will address the concerns that executives have about rising cyber attacks. An October 2010 MessageLabs Intelligence Report of Symantec revealed that cyber attacks have increased globally from one or two attacks per week five years ago to 77 attacks per day today.

"This event will give CSOs the insight and best practices they need to embrace effective security policies that mitigate today's cyber threats."
