Industry Keynote:
Real-World Visions of an EDP Future
The mission of enterprise data protection requires coordinating IT practices, policies, technologies and initiatives stretching not only from the data center to the end user workspace, but also to customers and business partners. Our opening industry keynote presentation discusses the challenges of securing sensitive, private and proprietary information across the enterprise today, how security policies and IT practices must change to address these challenges, and the steps global businesses must take to lay the foundation for manageable and cost-effective data protection tomorrow.

Industry Keynote:
The Changing Role of the CISO

The mission of the CISO is to develop and implement a strong information security program encompassing governance, policies and standards, and awareness and training, in addition to coordinating IT practices, technologies and initiatives. Fulfilling the CISO mission is increasingly dependant on strong, solid working relationships with the Board, business and operations management, and auditors and regulators. This presentation from the former Citigroup, J.P. Morgan and Merrill Lynch CISO offers a number of practical ideas, approaches and tools that you can use to make the information security initiatives at your company more successful, manageable and cost effective.

Keynote:
Practical Steps to Implementing EDP Solutions

Enterprise Data Protection requires a technology plan that can be implemented over time. This session will discuss the different technologies involved in securing data on an enterprise-wide basis, what types of devices and communications must be secured, issues around integration and deployment, and the central role of key management. IBM and PGP Corporation will cover both long-term issues and immediate steps to take in putting an Enterprise Data Protection solution in place.

General Session:
Data Protection and Regulatory Compliance: What the Law Requires
New laws and regulations are imposing significant obligations on businesses to address the security of their corporate data. This session will explain that legal framework, and focus on how to comply with the developing legal requirements. Recognizing that security compliance is a process, and that you are never done, the presentation will examine the legal concept of "reasonable security" and explain what an organization needs to implement, from a "legal" perspective, to ensure regulatory compliance and provide adequate protection from liability.


12:35pm - 1:35pm


Executive Luncheon and Networking Break


1:40pm - 2:25pm


General Session:
Report from the Front Lines: Navigating Enterprise Data Protection
The costs of an information breach can be enormous, and companies that would prevent them face a maze of policy decisions and technology choices. How are forward-looking IT execs steering through the rocks and hard places of data protection and regulatory compliance? In this panel discussion, executives on the front lines discuss strategies for protecting data across the enterprise and beyond, meeting governance requirements, addressing the cultural, technical and organizational challenges today, and preparing for the challenges tomorrow.

2:35pm - 3:15pm


Download the IP Protection presentation


Breakout Session:
IP Protection: Best Practices in Monitoring for Data Loss
With IP theft costing US companies $250B per year, organizations must find a way to track their IP and prevent it from leaving their control. In this session, we'll discuss how WebEx approaches data loss prevention - from the technology deployed and what it tells us, to how traffic is monitored, and how employee awareness comes into play.

Breakout Session:
Secure Data in Motion: Protecting Business Processes
Far-flung business processes and collaborative workflows pose special data protection challenges. How can IT achieve both security goals and governance requirements in processes spanning multiple locations or business domains? How do controls over these processes weave into the organization's broader data protection initiatives? This session will address these and other questions raised by the need to secure sensitive data from point to point, and step by step, in the collaborative business network.

3:25pm - 4:05pm


Download the Database Security presentation


Breakout Session:
Database Security: Governance and Compliance
Traditional network security and access controls simply aren't sufficient to protect critical databases, which remain vulnerable to external threats, dishonest employees, and even honest slips. Learn how CareGroup strengthened internal controls for sensitive data, met HIPAA monitoring and auditing requirements, and bolstered protection of patient medical records -- all while improving patient and staff access to vital information and keeping costs and disruption in check.

Breakout Session:
Discovery and Visibility: Monitoring Data Usage and Identifying Risk
File shares, databases, e-mail, laptops ... where does the sensitive data lie in your organization, and where is it going? Who's accessing it and how is it being used? This panel discussion will focus on how to gain visibility into the nature and scope of your data protection needs and the steps you can take to begin mitigating your risk and seizing control.


4:05pm - 4:20pm


Networking Break

4:20pm - 5:00pm


Download the Encryption presentation


Breakout Session:
Encryption: The Good, the Bad, the Commonly Forgotten
Encryption continues to serve critical business needs while helping organizations meet regulatory requirements. There is a darker side to encryption initiatives, however, with the areas of end user training, escalated help desk and deployment costs, and key management issues lurking in the background. We will discuss how and when to deploy encryption, the various encryption technologies available (some will surprise you), and how to plan for the additional burdens such a deployment brings. This session is meant to offer encouragement, advice, and best practice guidelines, but most of all to shed light on the entire project -- not just the encryption product.

Breakout Session:
Vendor Roundtable: Understanding the Data Protection Ecosystem
Vendors of all stripes -- encryption, e-mail security, identity and access management, content filtering and data leak prevention, database and storage security -- are offering to help you protect sensitive data and meet regulatory compliance requirements for data security. In this sure-to-be-lively panel discussion, we'll seek to determine the essential factors for considering each type of solution, their key benefits and requirements for implementation, and how they fit into an overarching data protection strategy for the enterprise.

General Session:
The Evolving External Threat: Guarding Against Criminal Malware
Today's criminal malware can regenerate an entire botnet, tens of thousands of infected clients, command-and-control servers, mothership Web servers -- all from a single, slippery exploit. Bank-scamming trojans are stealing tens of millions of dollars, and they can defeat any form of Web site authentication, including two-factor and smart cards. Anyone can buy a Web site-infecting, browser-hijacking trojan with remote management backdoors and enterprise reports for $25. Throw in another $25 if you want 24 x 7 technical support. Think you know today's malware? Attend this session to learn about the sophisticated new methods being used by today's malware and how to defeat them.
