Morning workshops
Workshop A: Virtualization
(Theatre)
Brian Duckering, Senior Manager, Endpoint, Symantec
Virtualization is one of the largest and most enduring initiatives in IT today, and can have broad implications for IT budgets, end-user productivity, infrastructure configuration, and, yes, Privacy and Security. But what is virtualization, really? Aren’t there different types of virtualization? Is it good or is it bad? How do we make decisions about things we don’t quite understand?
This workshop is designed to demystify the topic of virtualization and to differentiate the various types of virtualization in plain English. For example, what is the difference between server virtualization, desktop virtualization and endpoint virtualization? At the end of this workshop, you will have practical knowledge to help you make good decisions about virtualization. How to evaluate different technologies – what will help and what might hurt your privacy and security exposure.

You may have heard about it—after all, the whole WikiLeaks story is a result of data loss—but how do you prevent it? How much risk is really involved? Is the technology ready to help?
The Forrsights Security Survey of Q3 2010 found that 12% of IT decision-makers are planning to implement DLP in the next 12 months, 15% have already implemented it, and 36% are interested but have no definite plans. Your networking and security departments are likely planning to implement DLP in the near future. This workshop will help you understand the concepts, tools, and potential implementation strategies for a data loss prevention initiative. Come and learn from the experts at Sierra Systems and RSA, The Security Division of EMC. We will take you through a risk assessment process for confidential information looking at the threats, vulnerabilities, and potential impact to your business. We will walk through a set of best practices for preventing enterprise data loss and we will show you how to identify, monitor, and protect data in use, data in motion, and data at rest. Come prepared to roll up your sleeves and do a little work—we will provide some materials and worksheets for your own use and we will also demonstrate some of the technology solutions available to assist you in your efforts.
Workshop K: Privacy & Security Workshop – Identifying your Personal and Sensitive Data
(Langford)
Terry Harper, Symantec National DLP Specialist - Canada
Sharon Perkins, Chief Privacy, Security and Compliance Officer, HP Advanced Solutions Inc.
In today’s regulatory and compliance environment, organizations face tremendous hurdles working to identify and secure sensitive data. Over the past few years, hundreds of millions of personal data records have been exposed due to security breaches. Sensitive information is not simply on one server; it is distributed across networks on desktops, laptops, and servers and buried within long-since forgotten files and e-mails.
What is sensitive data? How can you identify it across your enterprise? This workshop is focused on practical approaches for answering these questions and will utilize case studies and live demonstrations to illustrate these approaches.

Privacy and publicness are not mutually exclusive; one depends upon the other. Still, in our current mania over privacy, we should pause and be concerned whether we risk giving up the benefits of the connections that the internet enables. Just as we have privacy advocates, do we also need publicness advocates?

PIPEDA @ 10: What The Next Decade Might Hold
As PIPEDA enters its second decade, this presentation will take a look at back at the key themes and trends of the first ten years and look ahead to the key battleground issues in the months and years ahead.
Brian Contos, Director Global Security Strategy & Risk Management, McAfee
(Theatre)
Threats and Trends in Security
Business is constantly and rapidly evolving—according to a recent Gartner report, CIOs are transitioning from managing resources to demonstrating value in business terms. Forty-two percent of CIOs surveyed in Gartner’s 2010 CIO Agenda Survey said they have direct responsibility for raising business performance and, by 2013, CIOs say their focus will move from process improvement to innovation, competitive advantage, and customer growth.
In parallel, the threat landscape from malicious insiders to advanced persistent threats is changing faster than most IT organizations can cope with. The delicate balance of enabling the business and keeping it secure requires executives to stay informed about these changes so that they can consider them when making decisions.
Not so long ago, all you had to protect at your organization were stationary computing systems in designated physical locations. Today, you need security that protects a virtual network of people, networks, services, and applications that can be anywhere at any given moment. Web 2.0, the consumerization of IT, and other trends have added enhanced capabilities as well as complexity. Security needs to achieve the same ubiquity. In achieving this goal, perhaps the greatest enemy is complexity derived from silos of unconnected assets.
This presentation has been created to educate and inform. It is based on customer use cases and feedback regarding critical issues from organizations across various government and commercial organizations around the globe. Based on this feedback and analysis from McAfee Labs, attendees will explore several critical areas across threats, trends and business priorities that can be positively impacted by a security connected strategy.

In this session we will discuss some of the top trends and predictions for the future and how we as information professionals can step up to the challenge.
Trevor Hughes, President & CEO, International Association of Privacy Professionals (Salon A/B)
Toward Data Environmentalism
The myriad channels through which data flows have little friction in the digital era. Organizations gather and store data in exponentially increasing volume. Yet consumers have many concerns that include keeping data private and secure and protected against misuse to managing what and how data is shared with businesses and governments and across communities. Low-friction data channels can be considered valuable information ecologies that are increasingly vulnerable to abuse and scrutiny. Our ability to keep data flowing to create value is threatened by strained policy and regulatory responses at all levels, from corporations to governments. To protect these ecologies of information and ensure they flourish, we must establish a new ethos of data environmentalism and a build new class of data environmentalists who can manage the security and privacy of data while enhancing the availability and value of that data.
This innovative session uses examples from modern art and popular culture as well as social and industrial history to illustrate how personal data has become inextricably linked to our everyday lives –and why it is critical to balance effective regulatory and security controls on data with recognition that data flow is essential to our economy and culture.

Data Loss Prevention – The ultimate Goal and ultimate Destination. Can you really secure your end point?
The regulatory environment is changing. Find out what organizations, as well as the public and private sector need to consider to best protect themselves from data leaks.
Are inspection techniques, classification just catch phrases? Is Data at rest, or Data in motion a concern for your organization? Are you vulnerable for a data loss?
We’ll talk about:
- What are some of the tools and what do they do?
- Are you detecting, or inspecting?
- Should you be detecting or preventing?
- What has been successful?
- How do you prepare?
For many years, within information technology we have defined and implemented security to protect access to electronic information and the location where it is located
Content monitoring, filtering and data loss prevention techniques and technologies are now at the forefront at securing your data.
Experiences have allowed us to redefine the approach to looking at Data Access Security and the Policies behind it.
Bill Dupley, Chief Solutions Manager, HP Canada (Salon C)
Secure Advantage
Protecting the modern IT infrastructure from the forces that seek to infiltrate and compromise it may very well be one of the most difficult jobs facing the public and private sectors today. Criminals have shifted from stealing from banks to stealing the identities of individuals. Threats from both inside and outside have increased dramatically. These threats demand a security architecture, that will defend data & resources, protect infrastructure, networks & applications, and validate compliance to audit & regulations as a whole. During this session William Dupley HP Canada’s Chief Solution Executive will discuss the elements and technologies required to build a comprehensive Security Architecture to achieve these security outcomes.

“Securing the Cloud”
Cloud computing has drawn the attention of senior technical and business decision makers in Canada as it promises to reduce cost, improve service and enable organizations to focus its resources on its core business. However, there are some key questions that need to be resolved before cloud computing can be widely adopted. These questions revolve around regulatory compliance, service level agreements and privacy and security.
In this session, Mohammad Akif will discuss the status of cloud security and how the industry is planning to address the security issues and concerns. He will also discuss how IT and business leaders can make an informed choice about cloud computing and provide an analysis of the risks and benefits based on real world examples.
Meghan Stabler, Senior Director, CA Technologies
(Theatre)
“Privacy, Identity and Cloud – Should You Carry Handcuffs?”
The business drivers for cloud computing are compelling: opportunities for businesses and government agencies to focus greater resources and energy on their core competencies, driving innovation, service efficiency and cost reduction, and a flexible IT. But with the increasing adoption of cloud comes growing risk and concerns about data privacy, access and increased risk if processes are not implemented.
If we need to provide data flexibility to the business, and therefore the user, how secure should you be without hand cuffing business innovation and operation?
Data privacy and security risks have represented increasingly serious business management issues. These risks become more complex and challenging in a ‘cloudy’ enterprise; personal and business-confidential data and information are now stored, processed and communicated, on systems that could be external to the enterprise, in organizations having their own security risk management policies and controls. Now the core components of information security must be managed with greater care by multiple organizations. Executives must therefore understand that in the migration to cloud computing, the implementation and audit of security and privacy risk management policies and controls, once solely an enterprise function, are now distributed across the 'cloud' environment, imposing novel requirements for assessing and managing risk, as well as enhanced governance and more finely calibrated security management policies and practices.

Malignant Social Networks: How Virtual Criminal Enterprises Present the Greatest Threat to Our Privacy and Financial Security.
Government Agencies, Financial Institutions, and Insurance Companies have been leaders in expanding delivery of a wide range of services, benefits and products via the internet and are planning for the future medium, mobile communication channels. While electronic services are a boon to commerce, customer convenience and business expansion, these technological miracles provide a perfect medium for predatory fraud networks to steal personally identifiable information which is a fungible commodity that can be used to impersonate customers, loot accounts and steal benefits with great effect.
Based on number of incidents, monetary losses, and psychological impact electronic crimes targeting consumers, government agencies and business firms have become the most pervasive crime problem of this millennium.
In his presentation, Chris will share real-world examples and discuss what executives should be doing to protect constituents and clients from the peril that pervasive fraud can reap.

And if you want to download it again and move it to another platform, should you be able to do that? What if your information has been integrated with other people’s information or become part of an integral part of an application? This panel will examine the technological and ethical issues surrounding data portability and discuss the privacy and security standards that need to be in place to ensure effective information controls.
Moderator: Gary Dickson, Information and Privacy Commissioner of Saskatchewan
Speakers:
- Chris Conley, Technology & Civil Liberties Fellow, ACLU
- Mathew Ingram, Senior Writer, GigaOM.com
- Peter Reid, HP Enterprise Business Privacy Officer.

Sigrid Arzt, Commissioner of the Federal Institute for Access to Public Information and Data Protection (IFAI), Mexico
(Crystal Ballroom)
Security and Privacy in the Mexican context
Over the last eight years Mexico has been constructing a framework on privacy and security. The country faces considerable challenges in matters of security and privacy given the technological developments in the field of telecommunications and social networks. IFAI is faced with the test of educating our society with respect to matters of privacy in a context of considerable societal asymmetries. Only very recently is that Mexico joined the group of countries that have a specific legislation for data protection. Yet, having the legislation is not enough if its society doesn’t regard this as a human right. For IFAI this is regarded as a basic cultural change for the next decade.

Security and Privacy – Canadian priorities in the post recession Web 2.0 melting pot
Each year, TELUS conducts the only study of IT and network security issues, concerns and practices based on Canadian government and private sector organizations. As we exit the end of the “crisis period” of the most recent recession, TELUS will present its observations of what is changing in the world of security and why. We’ll focus on the pressures raised by funding constraints and the security and privacy issues raised by the pervasive use of social media and Web 2.0 applications across organizations. TELUS will present findings drawn from its ground breaking research with the Rotman School of Business, as well as from its work as an R&D provider to security product vendors and as a security solution provider to over 250 public and private sector organizations in Canada.
Kevin Cochrane, VP of Enterprise Marketing, Customer Experience, Adobe

Citizen Engagement Management
Description: The Web is defining, or redefining, the entire public service experience. Online experiences are deeply embedded in the fabric of today’s society. Most everything a citizen does as a consumer involves the Web either directly through enabling technologies or indirectly by the expectations established by other Web-driven experiences. This represents both opportunity and challenges for Government agencies serving citizens or enabling public servants. Traditional IT systems were not designed to support the interactivity of the Web. Back-end systems force users to adapt to the way the systems work and cobble together public service interactions that are limited by the constraints of how database tables and web services were built -- not the way citizens and public servants actually behave.
Adobe Systems recently acquired Day Software, a leading Web content management provider, to help government agencies address this challenge and leverage the Web to extend mission success and evolve with these expectations. For government agencies, this means enabling public servants to better assist people in need and people at risk through online enablement, improved service delivery and outreach.
Join, Kevin Cochrane and discover best practices agencies can utilize to address these challenges and leverage the Web to extend mission success and evolve with these expectations.

Jeff Stiling, Sales Manager, Western Canada and NW US, Palo Alto Networks (Salon C)
“Security versus Privacy – Which wins?”
In these days of controversial airport pat-downs, the debate of where to draw the line in protecting one’s privacy while also maintaining a secure environment rages on. Like airport security, information security wrestles with this issue. To ensure inappropriate content (be it data or malware) is neither entering nor leaving an organization requires a fundamental feature – visibility to the traffic. If you can’t see the threat, the threat will succeed. But to see the threat requires exposure of potentially sensitive information to somebody, or something. This short presentation sponsored by TELUS will brush upon this topic and give a perspective of how to balance these two seemingly opposing concepts with responsible information security tools.
Ed Rebane, Senior Security and Privacy Advisor, Bell Security Practice Leader (Oak Bay)
Are you doing the right thing at the right time the right way? Don’t get fooled into thinking you are secure. Without context …do you really know?
There are a lot of ways for a breach to happen. Bad guys only need to find one, but you need to protect against every possibility, or at least know what risk you are assuming. Ed will show you “how to look under the hood” when it comes to security. Is the solution you are implementing really going to help? Do you have context and perspective on the bigger picture? This session will give you the tools you need to make informed security decisions.
Christopher Litton, Consulting Director, Justice Practice, Sierra Systems (Esquimalt)
“Enabling the Shift with BC Justice – Transformation to BC Government 2.0”
Citizen Centered Service. Service Transformation. Enabling Technology. Generational Shifts in Technology Adoption.

Come and hear how Sierra Systems is helping the BC Justice Sector innovate and transform to support the BC Government 2.0 Strategy.
