GENERAL SESSION

Title: Preventing Data Leaks & Non-Compliance
Speaker: Greg Bell, Principal and Americas Service Leader for Security, Privacy and Continuity, KPMG LLP

As electronic communications remains a primary means to transmit and store corporate information, messaging security is directly related to industry and government regulations that require close control over sensitive data. Often, companies risk stiff penalties for non-compliance or face public scrutiny when this information is breached. In this session, Greg Bell will separate fact from fiction by providing a vital list of what is required—and what is overkill—for regulatory compliance, and best practices organizations can implement to ensure this sensitive information is not compromised.

11:30 AM - 12:25 PM

GENERAL SESSION
Title: Protecting Corporate Data – Enterprise Case Studies
Moderator: John Pescatore, Distinguished VP Security and Privacy Analyst,
Gartner
Panelists: Aaron Kuehn, Director of Compliance, Secure Computing; Ken Rutsky, EVP, Worldwide Marketing, Workshare; Pete Statia, Information Security Engineer, Piedmont Hospital

An unfortunate reality in today's business environment is that one of the biggest threats to compliance and data integrity efforts comes from within the organization. Going beyond simple preservation of sensitive information, organizations are faced with the risk of fines and executive liability, forcing them to address the threat caused by information leaks. Although e-mail is still the overwhelming top choice for business communication, enterprises also must look for policy-driven solutions that monitor, encrypt, filter and block outbound content across other channels such as instant messaging, Webmail, peer-to-peer and other types of messaging traffic. Thisroundtable discussion will explore real-life implementations and present recommendations for protecting sensitive corporate information and keeping customer and employee information safe from privacy violations.

AFTERNOON KEYNOTE ROUNDTABLE
Title:
Strategic Government and Private Cooperation for Securing Communications in Critical Infrastructure Protection
Moderator: Phyllis Schneck, VP Research Integration, Secure Computing
Featured Keynote Panelists: Amit Yoran, President, Yoran Associates; Howard Schmidt, President and CEO, R & H Security Consulting LLC; Daniel Larkin, Unit Chief, Internet Crime Complaint Center, FBI

All critical infrastructures have systems that are based on or enabled by electronic communications. Messaging security technology is central to overall infrastructure and communications security, especially as the world begins to see convergence of delivery infrastructure such as data service and energy. Statistics show that 85% of critical infrastructure is owned and operated by the private sector. In current practice, critical infrastructure subject matter expertise resides mostly within the private sector. This expert panel explores the messaging security aspects of protecting global critical infrastructure and the political issues in government and private sector with the phenomenon known as “information sharing.”

Moderator: Mike VanBruinisse, Vice President of Sales, Secure Computing
Panelists: Tim Reinart, Progressive Insurance;, Charlie Gautreaux, Charlotte Pipe & Foundry; Charlie Cano, Security Solutions Architect, F5; Nathaniel Borenstein, Chief Spam Strategist, IBM

E-mail continues to be a significant and highly visible security issue for organizations. Threats such as spam, viruses, spyware and phishing continue to grow in volume and sophistication. At the same time, new communications channels such as instant messaging, Webmail and VOIP are starting to suffer from the same security problems. As these protocols experience rapid employee adoption, organizations are trying to determine how to make the messaging infrastructure secure and meet regulatory and acceptable usage policy. This discussion with messaging professionals and executives from several Secure Computing customers will feature real-life implementation stories, and best practices for protecting today's messaging infrastructures.

Technical Track

TECHNICAL TRACK SESSION
Title:
Emerging Threats & Applications
Speakers: Dr. Paul Judge, Chief Technology Officer, Secure Computing; Dmitri Alperovitch, Research Scientist, Secure Computing

New protocols and applications provide novel ways to connect people over the Internet and bring business processes online. With these changes come new vulnerabilities and attack vectors. This session will explore some of the paradigm shifts and application evolutions, examine how attackers are already focusing on these systems, and discuss threat trends. Two major themes that will be highlighted are 1) the deployment of Voice over IP (VoIP) systems and 2) the growing attack platform of zombie networks.

In exploring emerging applications, the session will discuss the evolution of threats from e-mail to VoIP and what steps enterprises can take to defend their networks. It also will explore emerging VoIP technologies and the threats that may accompany them in order to help enterprises prepare for the challenges that may lie ahead. The session will then review the fundamental changes attackers are making in their platform and approach. Specifically, it will provide a view into zombie networks, an analysis of attacker methods and techniques, an overview of phishing and how phishing attacks propagate, and what organizations can do to protect themselves.
