"PRAGMATIC APPROACHES TO ENTERPRISE INFORMATION SECURITY"
Moderated by:  William Hugh Murray, CISSP, Executive Consultant, Cybertrust Corporation, Office of the CTO; Associate Professor, Naval Postgraduate School
Panelists: John Bird, VP IT, Chevy Chase Bank
                 Tim Talbot, Sr. Vice President & CIO, PHH
Business Problem:  Where should the CIO place his next security dollar and his next security hour?
IT Solution: A layered approach to information security that encompasses assets, people, processes and policies. In the age of the Internet and at the level of the enterprise CIO, most enterprises use   similar  technology, confront the same threats, manage the same vulnerabilities, and suffer similar consequences.  They may all use similar policies, controls, methods, processes, and practices to manage them.  While the CIO must ensure that these risks are addressed, the amount of time that he can devote to managing them is limited.  This   panel  will identify the common risks, provide a model for understanding them, and propose an executive level strategy for addressing them.    The panelists will stress where the CIO should spend his next security hour and dollar.

Doug Hubbard's bio


"FOUR REVELATIONS: FINDINGS FROM 10 YEARS OF MEASURING IT RISK AND VALUE WITH MATHEMATICAL METHODS"
Presented by: Doug Hubbard, Inventor of Applied Information Economics (AIE) and has critical praise from Gartner, Meta, Forester, and Giga Information Group. His articles and interviews are published in CIO Magazine, Information Week and Baseline Magazine. He derives his findings from 45 case studies done with the AIE method over the last 10 years.
Business Problem: Most IT organizations don't measure risk in the same way an actuary or statistician would and most don't attempt to build economic models to estimate even the most “intangible” benefits. This results in missing some of the most important trends, risks and metrics in IT today.
Solution: Using data from 45 statistical case studies with a total of over 3,000 variables and hundreds of tracked forecasts, Hubbard has found four key revelations that may profoundly affect what you measure, where you invest and how you control risks.

“DEVELOPING THE NEXT WAVE OF IT LEADERS”
Moderated by: Linda Hughes, CIO, The North Highland Company
Panelists: John Murray, CIO, Enterprise Architecture, Department of Justice
                 Pam Kilday,
CIO, Suntrust Capital Markets
                 Dave Swartz, VP and CIO, The George Washington University
Discussion: Many organizations are finding it increasingly difficult to attract and retain top information technology resources.  In the US , enrolment in Computer Science and Information Technology programs is declining at the same time that demand for these resources is being driven by an aging workforce and the never ending stream of new technologies.  Strong technical skills are only half of the development battle.  As technology continues to play a differentiating role in the market place, tomorrow's IT executives must take an even bigger role in setting and executing corporate strategy.   In this forum, our panelists will discuss how they continue to address the challenges associated with attracting and developing top talent.

Presented by: Paul DeFeo - Product Manager, Storage Solutions, Forsythe Technology, Inc.

"THE EXPANDING ROLE OF DATA PROTECTION INTO CORPORATE GOVERNANCE, REGULATORY COMPLIANCE AND ENTERPRISE VALUE PROTECTION"
Presented by: Richard Scannell, “Co-founder of GlassHouse Technologies, SVP North American Consulting, and recognized industry speaker on business issues that CIO's are struggling with.”
Business Problem: Data Protection has changed from being focused on Data Recovery to Enterprise Protection.
IT Solution: A new set of technologies combined with a need for significantly more mature processes. Historically, system failures and data loss typically resulted in lost time to market, resulting in the cost of re-work, lost opportunity and personal inconvenience. More recently, as scrutiny around data management has increased both by regulators wanting transparency in business dealings and by consumers wanting to ensure their privacy and personal information is protected, data protection has expanded in definition to cover not only recovery from data loss, but also data security, disaster recovery, and regulatory compliance.  Far from just additional cost of reproducing data, failures in data protection today can result in significant fines, brand confidence erosion and in the extreme criminal prosecution. With this shifting focus comes a need for even tighter controls and more mature processes in an area of IT all too often neglected as unsexy and of no value-add.  Data Protection is fast becoming the Achilles heel of many corporate governance and policy decisions and as such IT executives must develop a comprehensive strategy to address it and maintain it as a center of excellence.

"ALIGNMENT OF IT TO THE BUSINESS"

Moderated by: Michael Fraga, Regional Manager, Computer Associates
Panelists: George Fiedorowicz, Vice President - First Data
                 Patricia Edfors, VP of IT Risk Management, AOL
Discussion: IT organizations are under pressure to better understand their companies' strategic and tactical goals and to more closely align their technology investments with those goals. The desired end result is to maximize IT contribution to the performance of the business. Many organizations are struggling with IT best practices and compliance because of poor linkage between technology management and the business. IT organizations must first understand and model the key processes that drive the business and enable regulatory compliance, and then link IT services to the management and monitoring of those processes. To accomplish this, they need both an effective methodology and the requisite technology for highly disciplined IT management. Join us for an interactive discussion that focuses on how to accomplish successful alignment.
