Chapter Meetings

October 14, 2009 :: CRM Security

  • Presentation: Customer relationship management (CRM) systems are increasingly being used by organizations to increase revenue and improve efficiencies within their sales organizations. The overall objective of CRM is to identify, acquire, and retain customers, meaning that these systems contain information that has a direct impact on the competitive advantage of the organizaiton. It is therefore critical that this information be protected from unauthorized access or modification. This session will highlight the risks inherent within these systems and how to address them from both a process and technical perspective.
