 Abstract:

Keynote:  Beyond Sarbanes-Oxley: The Challenges of Securing Cyberspace Margaret E. Grayson, President, AEP Networks Government Solutions Group

Regulation has the power to impact every aspect of internal corporate affairs, from corporate governance to privacy to business practices and standards. Certainly regulation has had a significant impact on the security of corporations’ IT infrastructures and the way in which information is protected. A recent survey of enterprise executives, including IT and security professionals, found that regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley have helped to make networks more secure by compelling IT departments to tighten their user policies and strengthen their access controls, data protection and damage recovery technologies. At the same time, there are significant issues with the costs and resources necessary to implement regulatory compliance, the lack of specific implementation guidelines within the regulations, and the undue impact regulations can have on small businesses.

And, while the issues surrounding corporate compliance and its link to security are complex, they pale in comparison to the dynamics involved in securing cyberspace, with its community of consumers, citizens, corporations, education and government organizations, and its seemingly “borderless” multi-national participation. What can and should reasonably be done to facilitate the securing of cyberspace? This presentation will address the benefits and the challenges associated with compliance, and will consider the larger question of securing cyberspace.

Abstract:

An Emerging Information Security Minimum Standard of Due Care

This article examines the emerging body of law surrounding an enterprise’s responsibility for securing information, together with the emerging body of information security management principles and practices for doing so. Seven key information security management elements are identified which we believe constitute an information security minimum standard of due care. Enterprises failing to implement these seven management elements could face significant legal exposure should they suffer a security breach resulting in damage to a 3rd-party.

California Office of Privacy Protection

Department of Consumer Affairs

Abstract:

California is nationally recognized as the leader in privacy protection. In addition to a constitutional right to privacy, over fifty laws on privacy and identity theft passed in recent years are serving as models for other states and for the federal government. Yet hardly a week goes by that we don't hear of a security breach that exposes thousands of people to the risk of identity theft. How effective are these laws in protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information?

Joanne McNabb is Chief of the California Office of Privacy Protection. Created by legislation in 2001, the first-in-the-nation Office is a resource and advocate on identity theft and other privacy issues.  In addition to providing information and education for consumers, the Office also publishes privacy practice recommendations for business and other organizations.

McNabb attended Occidental College and holds a master’s degree in Medieval Literature from the University of California, Davis.

Synopsis:

Securing proprietary data and associated business applications is a critical component of most compliance initiatives, not to mention the need for companies to protect their customers from financial damage and their brand investments from reputation damage.  This presentation reviews the requirements for data security implied by various regulations in the light of the difficulties posed by a changing threat environment in which attackers are increasingly focused on stealing valuable business data. We then proceed to suggest a new architecture for infrastructure solutions that meets the security challenges and automates the process of compliance auditing and reporting. We enumerate and demonstrate the characteristics that are needed in order to efficiently and effectively provide the technical components of regulatory compliance.

Abstract:

You Have 15 Seconds to Comply: Easing the Cost of Web Application Regulatory Compliance

Complying with state and federal legislation regarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of consumer data is a significant task, particularly when it comes to securing enterprise web applications against unauthorized use, misuse, and disclosure. The combination of highly generic legislation with one-size fits all security technologies results in a blur of requirements and solutions and no clear path of resolution.  The goal of this talk is to discuss with specific examples how web application security scanners can be leveraged to ease the cost of compliance, where these technologies fit into the compliance process, and how existing technologies from other industries compare.
