Ensuring the Web is Secure

Cyber crime hits the headlines on a regular basis and online fraud is threatening to erode the public's trust in the Internet. Thursday's track, Ensuring the Web is Secure, tackles the threats to and the defences of the World Wide Web with invited speaker sessions scrutinizing the impact of security on the individual, on business and on society in general.

Oracle's Chief Security Officer, Mary Ann Davidson, will deliver the day's keynote speech. She has responsibility for security evaluations, assessments and incident handling and will focus on the internal measures Oracle uses to ensure they are secure.

Speaker Session

The morning's speaker session, Global Services, examines the role of the Internet in our global infrastructure, as crucial as oil pipelines and trade supply routes. What are the clear and present dangers and how can we defend ourselves against them?

Phillip Hallam-Baker is principle scientist at VeriSign, a provider of infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications networks, and an expert in phishing fraud. In the afternoon he examines the threat posed by today's increasingly sophisticated cyber criminal and the new wave of security measures the IT industry must put in place to restore confidence.

Paul King is senior security advisor in Cisco's corporate security programs organisation. He advises on both internal and external security matters, from specific threats to policy issues, and works very closely with the financial and government sectors. He will be speaking on the latest Internet threats to e-business and corporate security.

Thursday's refereed paper tracks see security, privacy and sound guiding ethics as an essential part of a successful World Wide Web. They will highlight practical tools and techniques, guide business adoption of security technology and inform related government legislation.
