By-Invitation Only Tracks
CXO Track
Emphasis on corporate governance and compliance to regulatory requirements like Sarbanes-Oxley/HIPAA has never been more pressing. Senior executives (e.g. CEOs, CIOs) albeit not strangers to the importance of Information Security, may find a gap between awareness and action. This workshop explores various issues organisations face in tackling potential information security time bombs, and why the addressing of serious governance issues without the commitment from the rest of the senior management team can prove arduous for the CIOs. A short hands-on session in the workshop will also give the CEOs/CIOs a peek into the real world of IT subterfuge.
Senior Executives invited to attend this workshop can expect to be treated with the following:
- High Level discussions on why information security should be as important, if not paramount to other business concerns.
- Presentations on IT Governance by renowned speakers from the industry with a high powered panel discussion at the end.
- Updates on the latest IT Security stories and happenings around the world.
- A unique, guided, hands-on session that illustrates how easy it is to hack into computer systems.
- An exceptional platform for like-minded CEOs/CIOs to mingle and network.
At the end of the workshop, participants will also be treated to a guided tour of the exhibition booths, where the most innovative and breakthrough technologies will be showcased.
CISO Track
Governmentware 2008 is introducing the brand new CISO Track for Chief Information Security Officers. Benefiting from the valuable feedback for Governmentware 2007, this new track spawns from the CXO track to enable CISOs to focus on the building of strategies and plans that will directly impact their daily businesses. This workshop explores the future of IT Security, how to transform conventional views of IT Security to Positive Security, thereby creating more values for CISOs and their enterprises, as well as providing avenues for this transformation to take place.
Invited CISOs will gain insightful perspectives on IT Security through the following:
- Presentations and discussions on the Future of IT Security by leading experts in the industry. This will include a talk on IT Security Evaluation.
- Presentations and discussions on how to promote a security culture within their enterprises.
- Panel Discussion with the anchor topic of Opportunities for Positive Security.
- An exclusive platform for like-minded CISOs to mingle and network.
Succinctly, this is the track that will empower the CISOs with the ammunition they need to win in the increasingly volatile battlefield of IT Security!
