9:00 - 12:00
  1. Privacy Workshop - Privacy and Access: An Overview of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act

    An understanding of B.C.'s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act is essential for the proper administration and handling of records for organizations covered by the Act. This half day workshop offers an overview of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act including a brief examination of requirements related to the protection of personal information and governing the right of access. Attendees can expect to gain a better understanding of the underlying principles of transparency and privacy and how to balance these fundamental concepts.

    Speakers:

    Kash Basi, A/Manager, Strategic Privacy Initiatives, Knowledge & Information Services, Office of the Chief Information Officer, BC Ministry of Citizens' Services

    Joanne Gardiner, Senior Legislative and Policy Analyst, Knowledge & Information Services, Office of the Chief Information Officer, BC Ministry of Citizens' Services

11:00 - 1:00
  1. Securing Data AFTER it Leaves your Repository

    What if you could close the barn door after the horses have left and still corral all the horses?

    Join Oracle for a non-technical exploration of how to secure data after it leaves your repository. Oracle is able to offer this unique capability for both structured data (database) and unstructured data (documents, email, etc). This workshop will also review products capable of providing segregation of duty and real-time data access auditing for Oracle, DB2, IMS, and SQLserver databases, thereby alerting you when someone is trying to crack open the barn door in the first place.

    Speakers:

    Simon Thorpe, Senior North American Sales Consultant, Oracle Corporation

    Spiros Angelopolous, Senior Sales Consultant, Oracle Corporation

1:00 - 4:00
  1. Privacy Breach Workshop - Privacy Breaches: What To Do When One Occurs

    A privacy breach can affect any organization, even if it has good privacy and security practices. Are you ready for a privacy breach and do you know what to do when one occurs? This workshop will detail the steps you need to take to address the breach and to minimize the negative consequences not only for your organization, but also for individuals whose information has been affected.

    Speakers:

    Jason Eamer-Goult, A/Director, Information Practices, Knowledge & Information Services, Office of the Chief Information Officer, BC Ministry of Citizens' Services?

    Joanne Gardiner, Senior Legislative and Policy Analyst, Knowledge & Information Services, Office of the Chief Information Officer, BC Ministry of Citizens' Services?


  2. Security Workshop - "The Dark Side of Technology - Child Exploitation"

    Our children today are at risk of being stalked by sexual predators while sitting at their computers, in the safety of their homes. Child abduction, human trafficking, and the sexual abuse of children for the purposes of making and distributing child sexual abuse images is a rapidly growing, international, money-making cyber crime. It is the dark side of technology and the greatest tragedy of the digital age. The audience for this material has grown and reaches into every corner of the world, via the Internet.

    Through the integration of a number of specialized police services across B.C., child exploitation units have been developed to deal with cross-jurisdictional crimes. While the officers working in these specialized units come from different police forces, they go beyond jurisdictional mandates and work cohesively as a dedicated team. Their ultimate objective is to identify and assist child victims of sexual assault, identify those responsible for the abuse and to lay appropriate criminal charges for these acts and for the production and distribution of the images.

    This workshop will present an overview of the nature of Internet Child Exploitation offences and investigations and the use of technology to address this heinous type of crime against children. The workshop will also present information on the efforts to save the child victims, and to prevent this activity from affecting your family and community.

    Workshop Host: Winn Schwartau, President, Interpact, Inc., Author of "Information Warfare", "CyberShock" and "Time Based Security"

Mozelle Thompson, Independent Advisor Facebook former Commissioner to the US Federal Trade Commission

Social Technologies and the Information Transformation

A global rapid response to the catastrophic earthquake in Haiti; a populist revolution in Iran; and a historic election in America: What do they have in common? They each were transformed by social technologies that now give individuals more control over the timing and content of information than was even thought possible only two years ago. Although these technologies bear risks and opportunities, it is clear that they have permanently changed the online world as well as how we interact offline. My talk will begin the conference by looking at this transformation and how it challenges our traditional notions of privacy and security. We will also examine the opportunities these technologies present for the public and policy makers.

    Cyberwar: Target North America

    According to even mainstream headlines, we are engaged in a major cyberwar that threatens the foundation of the free world. Sadly, we are under attack, but the fact is that most people crying cyberwar really dont know what they are talking about. There is a clear distinction between cyberwarfare and what we are experiencing, and to protect ourselves, we need to understand the difference. This presentation covers these topics so that people can take the appropriate actions.

Panel C: Biometrics - What Can We See Now?
(Salon C)

Biometric technologies are beginning to hit the mainstream, touted as ideal for enhancing identity authentication, access controls and fraud detection. Ironically, however, the same technologies that can enhance trust can also undermine it when deployed improperly. Biometric data are exceedingly personal data: unique and permanent identifiers that can serve as both usernames and passwords. As this personal data is collected, used, retained and shared across networked environments by more and more actors for more purposes, how will the security threats that undermine the reliability of biometric systems be overcome? Equally significant, how will individual privacy be assured? Specific privacy concerns include function creep, expanded surveillance, tracking, profiling and potential discrimination, data misuse, the negative personal impacts of false matches, non-matches, system errors, and failure, and of insufficient oversight, openness and accountability in biometric data systems, as well as the potential for collection and use of biometric data without individual knowledge, consent, or control. All of these privacy risks can undermine user confidence, which can lead to a lack of acceptance and trust in biometric systems. Is there a positive-sum way out? Come hear our panelists and find out!

Session 4 - Keynote Speaker

Ann Cavoukian, Ph.D, Information and Privacy Commissioner for Ontario

Privacy by Design: The Gold Standard - Let's Raise the Bar

In the future, we will need to adopt a different paradigm – legislation alone will no longer be sustainable as the sole model for ensuring the future of privacy. We must turn to positive-sum paradigms such as Privacy by Design: proactively embedding privacy into emerging technologies, accountable business practices and networked infrastructures that intersect with personally identifiable information. The Commissioner’s 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 practical privacy. Dr. Cavoukian will explain how her vision of Privacy by Design and PETs Plus can help to transform your privacy problems into privacy solutions.

    Private Data in Public Hands

    Governments have developed an insatiable appetite for personal data, and have invested significantly in systems to collect, store, and share those data. Increasingly, personal data are collected through or from the private sector, frequently across borders, and often with the effect of undermining private-sector privacy "promises" and avoiding legal privacy protections. This session will address the government's growing demands for personal data and its impact on individuals and on businesses and other private-sector entities.

"Crime & Carelessness: Gaps that enable the theft of your most sensitive information"

"Information is power and money. Our professional lives revolve around building, inventing and working with more valuable information. How we protect and manage this information is core to the success of our economy, organizations, corporations and our personal lives. In this presentation we will explore how a criminal industry now larger than the international drug trade works to steal our information. Targeting areas of operational weakness, these organizations effectively steal more than $600 Billion of information every year. There are best practices to follow and we will discuss ways in which technology, process and education can greatly hinder what will continue to be an active attack on our most valuable resource: information."

Session 9 - Concurrent Keynote Speakers

  1. Daniel J. Solove, Professor of Law, George Washington University Law School
    (Salon AB)

    Understanding Privacy

    Privacy is one of the most important concepts of our time, yet it is also one of the most elusive. As rapidly changing technology makes information more and more available, scholars, activists, and policymakers have struggled to define privacy, with many conceding that the task is virtually impossible. Professor Daniel J. Solove will discuss his latest book, Understanding Privacy, and offer a comprehensive theory for how to understand the meaning and value of privacy. In addition to addressing privacy more coherently, his theory provides practical guidance for policymakers in business and government.

  2. Mohammad Akif, National Security and Privacy Lead Microsoft Canada
    (Theatre)

    Beyond the Firewall

    The threat landscape for security is evolving at a fast pace, the threats are becoming more dynamic and increasingly sophisticated using social engineering techniques. However, IT security teams have failed to adapt to this new dynamic environment, focusing instead on firewalls - both the perimeter network defense, and the organizational firewalling of IT security departments. In order to be successful in the current environments, IT and business leaders must recognize the shift away from a closeted, isolated security team focusing on moats and towers, and into a responsive, risk based team that enables the organization to meet its goals while effectively managing risk.

    In this Keynote, Mohammad Akif will share the latest data about the security landscape and discuss prevention best practices. He will also discuss how IT and business leaders need to evolve their thinking and their teams to meet the reality of the modern threat landscape.

Privacy and Security in Shared Services Environments

Today information is less tied to any particular physical jurisdiction and more services are being combined behind portals and other user interfaces. These "shared services solutions" may include elements of global sourcing, information sharing and consolidation in order to deliver new services, optimize resources and improve service levels. As we continue to develop new and beneficial business models that take advantage of these developments, we have to continue to understand how to promote and safeguard privacy and security. This session will focus on strategies of promoting privacy and security in these new services and technical solutions.

Session 12 - Business Breakouts

  1. Sierra Systems - Speakers: Bill Young, Director, Strategic Technology & Corporate Projects, Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and Christopher Litton, Director, Justice Practice, Sierra Systems

    Navigating the information sharing and identity management needs of clients in BC's Integrated Justice System

    Jurisdictions around the world are facing complex challenges as they try to introduce electronic information access and sharing solutions to meet the highly-sensitive service delivery needs of clients within the criminal justice system. In Canada, offenders travel through a justice system that can involve three levels of government (municipal, provincial, and federal) as well as other sector and service partners - all with differing needs, priorities, policies and legislation. There are increasing volumes of electronic information about and for clients as they move through police, crown, courts, and corrections. The need to share or allow authorized access to highly-sensitive information in this multi-stakeholder environment raises the bar on the need to ensure that this information is managed, protected and shared in a lawful, privacy protected and person-oriented manner.??BC is leading the way with projects including the BC Corrections Integrated Corrections Offender Network (ICON) project, and is working with the provincial identity management, biometric authentication, information access layers and inter-sector information sharing initiatives. The principal ICON Project Directors (BC Corrections and Sierra Systems) will discuss the challenges and solutions that are being proposed to address a common problem facing all jurisdictions across Canada.

  2. Oracle - Speaker: Spiros Angelopoulos, Senior Sales Consultant, Oracle Everyone is talking about data governance. What is it and how can you achieve sound data governance? Securing and protecting data requires a holistic approach, taking into consideration the broad range of data threats. Organizations need to understand these threats and develop a comprehensive strategy security policy. Come see how to tackle the challenge of data governance head on. Don't let a data breach happen to you
  3. Cisco - Speaker: Terry Singleton, Security Product Sales Specialist, Cisco

    Building a Pervasive Access Policy in a Borderless Network

    The heart of a borderless network is enabling anyone and anything to communicate at anytime and anywhere in the world, but communication is not just about enabling connectivity. A secure borderless network should enable the appropriate level of access: connecting the right user, the right device, at the right place, at the right time, to the right net work with the proper level of authorization. That’s the role of a pervasive access policy. Join Cisco to learn about innovations and technologies used to enable a pervasive access policy in today’s borderless networks.

  4. Deloitte - Speaker: Simon Tang, National Leader, Canadian PCI Service Offerings, Deloitte.

    "PCI: Current industry trends and compliance approaches"

As they continue to identify and address gaps between their current security controls and PCI DSS, many are asking 'is compliance even achievable?'

    During this session, we will:

    - Discuss industry trends and what are some of the issues most organizations are facing
    - Discuss the prioritized approach to PCI DSS achieving compliance
    - Evaluate alternative solutions and technologies to achieve compliance by reducing the scope or eliminating the need for PCI
    - Facilitate discussion with respect to current practices employed by session attendees complying with the requirements
