BT and CNBC, first in business worldwide, today announced their sponsorship of a panel of renowned enterprise security professionals to present a discussion on business risk resilience and enterprise security challenges during an eForum at the RSA(R) Conference 2008. The forum discussion, which will be presented live at RSA Conference 2008, as well as to a virtual audience, will take place on Thursday, April 10, 12:30 - 1:30 pm PDT, in the Moscone Center, San Francisco.
The eForum moderator, Simon Hobbs, an award-winning anchor and current host of CNBC Europe’s weekly program, “The Leaders,” will engage panelists on a number of enterprise security issues inherent within today’s rapidly evolving and highly-connected business environment. The panelists who will present at the RSA Conference 2008 will be joined by a number of security experts who will participate online as the eForum is streamed in real-time to a “virtual” online audience across the United States. Panelists at the session will include:
— Bruce Schneier — Chief Security Technology Officer, BT, and an
internationally-renowned author and founder of Counterpane Internet
Security; also designer of the popular Blowfish and Twofish encryption
algorithms
— Michelle Dennedy — Chief Privacy Officer, Sun Microsystems, who’s
responsible for the continued development and implementation of Sun’s
data privacy policies and practices
— James Powell — CTO, Reuters, whose wide range of expertise includes
financial services, real-time market information, enterprise 2.0 and
the semantic web
— Mike Lynch — founder and CEO, Autonomy, 2008 Innovator of the Year
recipient and leading expert on the role of meaning-based computing in
information governance and proactive information risk management
During the eForum at RSA Conference 2008, panellists will discuss a range of risk resilience and security issues — for example, the challenges posed to data integrity and security as the corporate space extends beyond traditional perimeters; the growing complexity of network use and applications of Web 2.0 technologies within the work place; ways businesses can harness the full potential of user collaboration through blogs, wikis and social networking sites, while maintaining standards and security. They will also offer their perspectives on a variety of security concerns, such as: the general benefits and business value of semantic applications; how entrepreneurs and business visionaries can set themselves apart on the road to web 3.0; and the security challenges of adopting semantic technologies.
