ContactSee Me on AITP Expert Panel on Computer Security in October
I'll be one of the speakers on what promises to be a great session on computer security at the Chief Information Officer Security Forum on October 25, 2003 in St. Louis. It's a great panel and there will be plenty of time to cover a wide range of issues. I'm excited to hear what everybody else has to say, let alone be a speaker too.
Here's the press release with more details:
AITP CONFERENCE TACKLES INTERNET SECURITY TOPIC
How does your information technology department protect office computers from being invaded by the latest worm, virus or Trojan horse? How are you going to handle the Sarbanes-Oxley Act? What are the legal issues involved?
Internet security is just one of the hot topics that will be discussed at the 2003 Association for Information Technology Professionals Conference to be held Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 23-25, at the Millennium Hotel in St. Louis.
Information technology executives responsible for security are invited to the highlight of the conference, the Chief Information Officer Security Forum, from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25. A panel of experts from a variety of industries will discuss risk management, Web security, wireless security, legal and regulatory issues and best practices.
“Security is not just a technological issue anymore,” said Attorney Dennis M. Kennedy, one of the CIO Security Forum panel members. “There are legal implications of your security practices. With virus authors now facing prison time, no one should be surprised to see lawsuits against businesses that do not take adequate procedures to prevent the spread of viruses, worms and other malicious software.”
The panel also includes experts from MasterCard International, Omni Tech, SBC Services, Washington University, Novell, People’s Energy, FBI St. Louis office, A.G. Edwards, and Robert Half Technology.
“This diverse panel was put together with the purpose of demonstrating to attendees that all industries have security issues and that all security issues are not created equal,” said Christine Leja, Security Forum coordinator and chief information officer at Southwestern Illinois College in Belleville, Ill. “Our hope is that critical business industries are represented so that everyone in the audience can relate their set of issues to those of a panel member’s.”
Leading up to Saturday’s CIO Security Forum, conference participants can choose from three seminar tracks that will take place Thursday and Friday, Oct. 23-24.
The Security track will include discussions on trends, case studies, the myths of HIPPA Security and much more. This track is presented by Data Connectors of St. Louis.
The Management track will cover topics such as disaster recovery, IT portfolio management, and successful project Management.
The Technical track will address the topics of application management, trustworthy computing, and network security.
