Conference Tracks

The conference is organized in four tracks focused on the following areas: business, technology, career and governance/compliance.

Business Track
Historically, security has been seen as a business inhibitor, a necessary but inconvenient weight. Security should enable an organization to take calculated risks, not just minimize them. The continuous flow of new threats, both inside and outside an enterprise, drives up risks. Businesses need to continue to prioritize critical areas for protection, whether it's considered security, privacy or compliance related. Most large enterprises need to establish a security foundation encompassing all areas. Participants in this track will identify the business impact of the security challenges and responses in these changing times.

Governance/Compliance Track
With the growing number of industry-specific, U.S. and international laws and regulations, how are information security leaders to ensure that their organizations and operations remain in compliance? Methodologies, frameworks, and tools are emerging that can aid in managing the myriad of challenges across governance, risk, and compliance. Join us for an educational and thought-provoking program presented by senior information security practitioners from leading organizations who offer their leadership and practical insights from their experiences. We invite information security professionals, privacy officers, risk managers, compliance officers and auditors to these sessions.

Career Track
As we recover from one of the worst economic storms in recent history, fresh and seasoned individuals alike are looking to re-establish their careers and make sure that they are equipped with right tools and techniques to better prepare themselves. The sessions in this track will present useful skills as well as expert opinions and suggestions for planning, managing, and assessing your career goals and strategy. A mix of individual presentations and panel discussions will cover a broad range of topics such as impact of cloud security and multi-sourcing on in-demand skills and importance of an advanced degree as well as certifications in Bay Area Infosec jobs. We will also have a networking expert share some easy but effective techniques to make new connections that are relevant to your networking strategy. Whether you are a fresh graduate or an experienced security professional, if you are thinking about re-launching or fine-tuning your career and are interested in learning what CISOs and recruiters are looking for, you'll have a lot to gain from this track.

Technology Track
The technology track is focused on applied technology, how leading edge companies determine their critical technology needs and develop the business case to get their projects approved, funded, and moving forward. Proactive technologies to battle hidden malware, Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), and web applications attacks are presented and analyzed. And the need for Cloud Computing focused security technologies and methods are discussed. Typical participants are CISO/CSO, directors, senior technologists, project leaders and front-line practitioners.

Keynotes

	State of Security in California Information technology in California is changing and along with it, the approach to securing the vast amount of information on businesses and citizens held by the state. In a time of shrinking budgets and growing security requirements, creativity is the name of the game. Mark Weatherford Chief Information Security Officer, State of California

	The Measure of Professional Identity As security practitioners, we are all well aware of the privacy concerns associated with social networking sites, but like any other risk, you need to balance it against the upside. Your personal brand is your most valuable professional asset. He shows you the value of your peer network and how, through the stewardship of your personal brand, you can use it as a force multiplier for your security program. Brandon Dunlap Managing Director of Research, Brightfly

	Crossing the Line - Advances in Monitoring, Detection, and Prevention of Inappropriate and Unauthorized Use Recent, advanced malware attacks such as Operation Aurora and new regulatory imperatives such as the Healthcare Reform Act are driving a paradigm shift in information security. Many CISOs must reluctantly acknowledge that malicious hackers may be accessing their organization's core systems, crossing the line of inappropriate use, and potentially creating states of "constant compromise." Well seasoned Chief Security Officers from leading organizations will be explaining how there is a paradigm shift in information security, shifting primary defense strategies from an "Outside In" to an "Inside Out" based approach. Chief Security Officer (CSO) Council Panel Facilitated by Jacques R. Francoeur Executive Director

The Cornerstones of Trust 2010 conference helps security leaders and security practitioners Weather the Storm – whether it is seen as the deluge of information, services in the cloud, bot-nets with advanced persistent threats or the waves of regulatory and compliance requirements. Are we seeing the rainbow after the rain, or are we in the eye of the hurricane. Organizations need to forecast trends and develop responses to the challenges like increasing cost pressures, rising security complexity, evolving threat landscape and emerging technology disruptors.

Organizations are continuing to adopt Web 2.0 and exploring Cloud services to expand their business with greater flexibility and lower capital investment. The regional regulatory requirements and consumer expectations continue to increase the complexity to accommodate the vast regional differences with an increased granularity. Organizations can’t depend on protecting the perimeter any longer, but need to protect the information – where ever it is. Organizations need to effectively plan, respond, and evolve to keep pace.

Security and privacy leaders should examine the threats and opportunities to weather the changing times. What does the storm look like from your perspective? Is it preventing or responding to a data breach? Is it preparing for the cloud? Is it the data explosion and data mobility? Or, is it closer to home - how to survive as an Information Security professional.
