"The McAfee Focus Security Conference will provide a fantastic opportunity for security professionals from around the globe to get together and share their perspectives on security risk management," said Dave DeWalt, president and chief executive officer of McAfee. "In my experience, networking with fellow security professionals is the best way to focus and learn more about security technology. This event will benefit businesses of all sizes."

McAfee announced the Focus Security Conference at its inaugural Strategic Executive Security Summit in Dallas. The event, hosted by DeWalt, brought together nearly 200 of McAfees top customers and partners. A precursor to the Focus Security Conference, the agenda for the Summit was designed to provide interaction in all sessions, as well as ample time for networking and a platform for open dialogue.

Speakers at the Strategic Executive Security Summit included McAfee Chief Security Officer Dr. Martin Carmichael, Andreas Antonopoulos, vice president and founding partner, Nemertes Research and Erez Liebermann, assistant United States Attorney, District of New Jersey Computer Hacking and Intellectual Property Section. The Honorable Greg Abbott, Attorney General of Texas, was awarded the McAfee(R) Cybercrime Fighter Award at the event on Tuesday.
