Herbert “Hugh” Thompson, Ph.D., Chief Security Strategist, People Security Title: #hijacked: The Risks of Corporate Social Networking Abstract: Facebook, Linked-In, and Twitter have moved from business curiosities to important PR, networking, and marketing tools. Consumer-focused companies are using Twitter to connect with customers. Many marketing campaigns leverage Facebook sites and fan pages. There are benefits galore for businesses that use social networking sites, but what about the risks? The big social networking attacks of 2009 may be giving us a peak into some bigger problems to come like corporate reputational hijacking. Join us for a brief but action-packed look at some of the risks of extending the enterprise (and government) through social networks. |

Jeff Bardin, VP, Chief Security Officer, ITSolutions Title: The Illusion of Due Diligence - Where Rigas, Kozlowski, Skilling, Fastow, Lay, Waksal, Sullivan, Stewart, and Ebbers Left Off Abstract: Being a security professional is a dangerous job. Taking ethical stands to live up to an ethical code of conduct takes courage and tenacity especially faced with the real threat of termination. This PK presentation takes a look at true stories of sex, crimes, videotape, threats of physical harm, impersonation, legal quandaries and seemingly insurmountable pressure when the likes of Ebbers, Rigas, and Skilling exist within the walls of your company. |

George Kurtz, Worldwide Chief Technology Officer & Executive Vice President, McAfee, Inc. Title: The Future of Security Abstract: Over the last couple decades the security industry has focused on answering a simple question, "Should we let this data into our environment?" The reactive approach to enact that decision is very easy, the real work is the research and algorithms designed to make this binary decision happen as fast and effectively as possible. The future of security will be focused on turning that reactive decision into a proactive one by leveraging the collective knowledge of the security cloud and taking advantage of the security “reputation” of systems, application, and people. |

Rich Mogull, Analyst, CEO, Securosis Title: Putting the Fun in Dysfunctional, How the Security Industry Really Works Abstract: Have you ever wondered why we really do what we do in the security industry? In this roller-coaster session, Rich Mogull will blend cognitive science, practical psychology, market forces, and technical analysis as he explains why we make the decisions we do, the two kinds of incidents that always get executive attention, and why some security markets succeed, while others fail. |

Ben Rothke, Senior Security Consultant, British Telecom Title: Tales from the Info Security Reading Room: Most of the Best and a Little of the Worst Abstract: Knowledge is power.
