Luncheon Keynote Address

Ann Cavoukian, Ph.D, Information and Privacy Commissioner for Ontario, Author of "The Privacy Payoff"

Presentation of the Kristian Beckman Award to Dr. Cavoukian. Presented by Stephen Marsh, Ph.D, Communications Research Centre Canada

Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, Canada, Dr. Ann Cavoukian, has taken her concept of Privacy by Design (PbD) to the global stage, where it is now recognized as an International Privacy Standard. Abandoning zero-sum in favour of positive-sum paradigms, Privacy by Design (PbD) proactively embeds privacy into emerging technologies, accountable business practices and networked infrastructures, dramatically decreasing privacy breaches by preventing the harm from arising at the source – in the code. Commissioner Cavoukian’s concept of Privacy by Design was not developed as a theoretical construct. It was developed to introduce real change into everyday lives, always with the goal of advancing privacy, which requires creativity and innovation from computer scientists, code writers and engineers in all parts of the world. PbD is already delivering real-world results in areas ranging from biometric encryption to mobile communications. Come hear Dr. Cavoukian explain how her concept of Privacy by Design can transform today's privacy problems into tomorrow's privacy solutions.

Session 6 - Business Breakouts

  1. Adrian Cerchia, Technology Director, Sierra Systems
    (Provinces I)

    Security Considerations in the Design of Mobile Apps
    The explosion of both corporately-owned and personally-owned mobile devices in the enterprise brings an opportunity to expand the employee toolset for connecting business processes with mobile apps. The applications deployed on these mobile devices must comply with enterprise security standards while not compromising end-user privacy and usability. Designing secure mobile apps to achieve these objectives is the focal point of this presentation. We’ll examine the security consequences of choosing a web, native, or hybrid application architecture; key differences between major platforms’ security models; and the impact of users’ acceptance of app permissions in an enterprise context driven by consumer behavior.

  2. Derick Cassidy, SCISSP-ISSAP, Security Lead, Office of the CTO, Oracle Public Sector
    (Provinces II)

    Elevating IT Security to the Cloud and Consolidation
    The trend toward Cloud consolidation is ever present, further increasing the pressure of understanding related transition challenges on IT departments, CIOs and CTOs. Please join Spiros Angelopoulos from Oracle to learn how you can mitigate some of the associated risks by using security controls available with a solid foundation of Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Data Security strategies.

Introduced by Marshall Sangster, Oracle Canada ULC, Regional Manager, Public Sector – Ontario

Convenient Secure Online Authentication
Providing online access to citizens wishing to perform a myriad of transactions and accessing personal information poses a significant number of challenges from privacy to identity assurance. Internally, simplifying access to applications while improving security and user lifecycle management increases in difficulty when integrating hundreds of applications and over 70,000 users.

Steve Ferrigni will discuss how the Province of Ontario has developed its external facing IAA (Identification, Authentication, and Authorization) service using a "Privacy by Design" approach and its strategy and challenges around implementing an internal IAM (Identity and Access Management) solution.

Session 10 - Concurrent Keynote Speakers

  1. Brian Blackshaw, Senior Strategist - IBM Security Systems
    (Confederation I)

    Driving Effective Application Security: An End to End Approach to Addressing One of Today's Biggest Threats
    Web applications are getting more complex; and therefore, so are the vulnerabilities. According to the latest statistics from the latest IBM X-Force Trend & Risk Report, 37 percent of all issues reported were Web application related. Compromising the business logic of a web application is now the leading method of exploit. Failure to properly secure Web applications exposes them to malicious attacks, making it an essential priority when managing risks in today's increasingly dynamic threat landscape.

    This session will discuss new and emerging network and application security attacks and strategies that agencies can utilize to proactively protect against Web application and network security threats.

  2. Fiaaz Walji, Canadian Country Manager, Websense
    (Confederation III)

    The Canadian Social Web: changing expectations, changing privacy and security models
    This session swill discuss the cultural shift leading to changing expectations of social access in the workplace and how businesses are using social media in new ways; demonstrate the latest social media security and privacy exploits and how the bad guys are taking advantage of this migration to exploit users at businesses; and explore ways that organizations can facilitate access to these sites, satisfying both business requirements and the expectations of the new generation, while protecting from the latest threats.

Session 13 – Plenary Panel

Identity Management

Moderator: Brian O'Higgins, co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer, Entrust

Knowing who you are, and determining what you can see and do are the main aspects of Identity Management. While it sounds simple, this problem is far from being solved. A typical web user has 25 accounts that require passwords and each is managed in a different administrative domain, yet attempts at single sign-on and federated identity have failed to catch on. Why is that? Our panelists will discuss this and other identity challenges in today’s web, enterprise, and government environments.

Speakers:

  1. Pierre Boucher, Deputy Chief Information Officer for the Government of Canada
  2. Peter Macaulay, CISO, Government of Ontario
  3. Derick Cassidy, Security Lead, Office of the CTO, Oracle

Session 15 - Closing Keynote

Richard Thieme, Author, Media Commentator and Speaker

"Life in a World Without Walls"
How has identity shifted from “individuals” up to meta-national structures? How do we continue to think inside paradigms framed by prior technologies while we act as emergent paradigms demand? How has the narrative inside the “security space” become self-referential and self-serving, and what does it filter out as well as filter in? How has the practice of professional intelligence redefined geopolitical reality in advance of protocols and policies? What will “biohacking” add to our conversation about computer hacking and privacy?
