McAfee presents;
Protecting Against Sophisticated Security Threats that Target Below the Operating System

Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) and stealth hacking techniques unfortunately are commonplace in today’s IT threat landscape. These sophisticated threats entrench themselves below the operating systems of IT assets - easily bypassing and not visible to traditional anti-virus, anti-malware security solutions. Hear from security experts on why the risks associated with these types of threats are real and need to be addressed as part of your overall security program. Come see a live demonstration of McAfee and Intel’s hardware-assisted DeepSAFE technology and how it detects and blocks these advanced, hidden threats such as stealth rootkits and APTs in real-time.

Ethics presents;
Ethics and Privacy

Many lawyers and privacy officers tend to think of “ethics” as a code of conduct and “privacy” as a set of best practices that accord with legislative standards. This pre-conference workshop, conducted by Ian Kerr, Canada Research Chair in Ethics, Law & Technology, offers a broader understanding of ethics and privacy through a consideration of various theories of privacy and the ethical values that underlie them. Learning objectives for participants of this workshop include:

  • distinguishing between intrinsic and instrumental approaches to privacy
  • comprehending several key privacy theories
  • identifying different privacy approaches in the implementation of particular privacy laws or policies
  • understanding the ethical theory underlying the various approaches to privacy
  • contemplating the ethical implications of adopting particular approaches to privacy

Privacy in the Workplace: Who’s Privacy are we really concerned with?
(Privacy of emails, monitoring of employees)

Let’s talk about a Privacy Survival guide. Is what you do really private; and should it be? Is the guide for the employee or for the employer or both? Every day employees dole out information about themselves, where they work, using work related hardware. Sometimes deliberately and sometimes not. Come find out some of the industry best practices about the different types of information that is commonly protected, and the methods used dealing with topics like Code of Conduct, Ethics, Internal Policies etc..

Learn about policy management, legalities, regulatory requirements, implementation and other topics and how they affect you.

  • Discover how to create a Privacy model around email and data flow
  • Learn about some of the components of a policy driven infrastructure

  • Identify key business drivers and value to the organization
  • Build an ROI case while learning from real-life examples
  • Prioritize tasks for execution
  • Learn about new technologies that can help accelerate success

Bring your Own Device: Where do we draw the line?)

Over 75% of the organizations allow employees to bring their own devices to work and school. Do you have your favourite mobile device to get your job(s) done from day to day. Are they appropriate? Are they secure? Are they integrated into your day to day work like or do they only do part of the job you need to them to do.

There are benefits and challenges that can both save and costs 1000’s of dollars for employers to manage and integrate. Is it worth it?

If you’re either one of the many that is tethered to a mobile device from one of the popular brands that is flying off store shelves today or an IT person or employer that needs to manage the those devices in your environment, come hear what concerns and challenges others are hearing.

10 years ago when you came to work you knew what tools were there for you to do your job. Maybe a personal laptop, desktop or a new fancy Blackberry but is that still the case?

  • Discover how to create a organizations are dealing with the BYOD epidemic.
  • Learn about concern points for integration and management from your peers.
  • Map the key stakeholders to see who benefits, who gets the burden and who picks up the tab.
  • Identify key business drivers and value to the organization…or is there one?
  • Build an ROI case while learning from real-life examples if this is the right path for you.

HP Presents;
Social Media & the Public Sector - Unlocking the value from within

Social media has been touted as a “game changer”, revolutionizing the way people interact with each other, with the companies they buy from, and with their governments. Every day citizens interact through the web, in person and on the phone - and with each other on social media. Over the last decade, we have learned how to channel and mine data from each one of these channels independently - often missing the big picture. As time has progressed, the method in which citizens have engaged also has changed. Replacing "rows and columns" forms of data are more human-friendly forms of electronic communications: email, recorded phone calls, Internet videos, Twitter, social media sites and blogs.

The power and influence of these types of data cannot be ignored - just ask a famous Airline about how they dealt with guitars.

Also locked within this data is a wealth of information for the government and private sector's operations. Knowing sentiment of the constituency, or providing easy access to private industry partners can help to stimulate economic activity. Data is collected in multiple silos, of which the collation of the data can border on intrusion. Business and government need to be vigilant in privacy and security while also having the tools to proactively sweep for these breaks. By understanding the meaning of data across multiple channels, only then privacy issues can be identified and proactively managed.

SafeNet presents;
User Authentication on Premise and in the Cloud

Multi-factor authentication solutions today are not typically a one-size-fits-all. Traditional solutions in the market have been centered for years around the hardware One-Time-Password (OTP) token for remote access authentication. A modern IT infrastructure that enables increased collaboration with business partners and customers, and the move into the cloud, are fuelling an increased need for advanced authentication mechanisms that are easy to adapt to an evolving IT infrastructure and address the ever changing needs of users and use-cases. Different authentication use-cases and diverse user preferences call for a mix-and-match approach – matching the token technology (i.e. OTP or PKI) and the token form-factor (i.e. software, hardware, hybrid) to the use-case (i.e. smart card logon and on premise access, remote access VPN, web portal, digital signing, etc.) and the user preference. This session will explore this subject and examine some of the scenarios, approaches and solutions available today.

Ensuring Effective Security: Rise to the Challenge

Implementing effective security practices remains an elusive goal for many organizations. While focusing on existing threats and incidents addresses management concerns, it may leave an organization ill prepared to respond to new challenges. Likewise, in quieter times, management may question the purpose of IT/security and how effective it is at reducing risks. Meanwhile, end users and business process owners are demanding seamless security solutions at the lowest cost. Those tasked with managing security may wonder how to address the many directions they are pulled in.

Cory Doctorow, Science fiction novelist, blogger and technology activist. Co-editor of weblog Boing Boing (boingboing.net), and contributor to The Guardian, the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and Wired

Internet giants will tell you that they're participating in a "privacy bargain" where consumers trade privacy for services. But it's a funny sort of bargain that involves Internet users giving up everything, with no ability to dicker --- not even the ability to see what they're giving up and to whom. What if we gave Internet users the power to decline an offer? What if we changed the analytics shooting war so that the users were armed, too?

The Repo Men Reductio Body EULAs, Privacy and Security of the Person
Recent medical advances allow us to transcend biological limitations through the implantation of microchips, digital body parts and artificial organs. However, surprisingly little thought has been given to the ethical and legal aspects of their design and use. In this keynote address, Ian Kerr, Canada Research Chair in Ethics, Law and Technology, examines current ethical and regulatory approaches that govern medical devices and argues that the existing paradigm of mass-market consumer goods is not particularly well suited for the health sector. His primary concern is that individuals are increasingly called upon to sign complex contractual documents that diminish privacy and autonomy not only as users of mass market consumer goods but, now, as medical patients. Drawing on lessons learned in the field of privacy and information technology law, he suggests that special considerations are required in the healthcare context to ensure that patient autonomy and privacy are adequately protected in an era where our bodies are becoming inextricably tethered by devices and software owned by health care providers in partnership with industry.

Young Canadians in a Wired World: Kids’ and Parents’ Perspectives on Privacy and Technology
This presentation provides an overview of focus group interviews with children aged 11-17 and parents of children aged 11-17 that were conducted in 2011 to gain insight into young people’s experiences with online privacy. Key findings include: the social rules young people have developed around visibility (e.g. creeping, lurking, hacking, borrowing, and exposing); young people’s experiences of and reactions to the constant online monitoring they are subjected to by parents, teachers, peers, and “strangers”; young people’s reaction to privacy education campaigns that stress danger; and the difficult choices parents make regarding privacy and invasion in order to be “good” parents.

Panel A: Identity Management – Better Service for the Digital Citizen
(Salon AB)

Identity management is becoming more important in electronic transaction and also regarded as a solution to reduce security concerns in the cyberspace. There are high profile identity management projects underway and they are more of business transformation than of technology. The Federal, Provincial and Territorial governments of Canada have developed the pan-Canadian identity management strategy that addresses privacy, security and trust issues on cyberspace. The goal of the pan-Canadian identity management strategy is to deliver better services to citizens. An example of showcasing the benefits of the right implementation of identity management is payment transactions on cyberspace. The Payment Systems Review Roundtable has been building a prototype of a next generation eCommerce model with a new governance model and payment ecosystem. The model also demonstrates a simplistic notion of fraud detection and reduction. This model is a good example for a better and more secure service delivery for citizens.

Ken Haertling, Chief Security Officer, TELUS

The Impact of Disruptive Technologies on Data Protection

In 2011, the industry witnessed an unprecedented year of security incidents and privacy breaches. In 2012, organizations are faced with the further proliferation of mobile devices/tablets and initiation of bring your own device (BYOD) policies. This will lead to the further co-mingling of personal and private data on joint-use devices. Meanwhile, with the addition of these devices and the erosion of the traditional network security perimeter, the enterprise network is no longer as trusted as it once was. Organizations cannot ignore other disruptors such as off-shoring, cloud computing, and virtualization that may further expose sensitive data. Ken will explore popular coping strategies and discuss which, if any, are likely to succeed.

Interest Based Advertising: Privacy, Priorities and Proportionality

New online applications and technologies continue to raise privacy concerns for many, most recently in such areas as interest-based advertising, social networking and mobile applications. While increased concern about privacy is understandable in an environment characterized by constant innovation and growth, research shows that much of this concern is based on uncertainty and misinformation. Industry is increasingly responding to these concerns through greater choice and transparency; however, there continue to be calls globally for increased regulation of online advertising. Moving forward, it is imperative that any Canadian regulatory responses be based on fact, and pursue a targeted, principle-based approach that will both protect privacy and nurture the digital economy, without sacrificing one for the other.

"Living in a Glass House when Everyone Has Stones"

Identity-shift is well under way. When the context of our lives changes, all of the contents are jumbled, including who we think we are and meta-national structures. We can’t help thinking inside paradigms that emerged from prior technologies but we also can’t help acting as new paradigms demand. The end of secrecy and the end of privacy are two sides of the same coin. Hackers appoint themselves as a Fifth Estate, while security and intelligence professionals tell themselves a story that filters out as much reality as it allows in. But reality won’t go away, and protocols, policies, and legalities lag behind. Add “biohacking” to the mix and the weird turn pro, pros feel weird, and ... what can we do to stay in the game?

Big Data: Challenge or Opportunity?
Governments are moving to drive citizen participation and engage directly with their constituents through additional government services and improved access to government data. Governments are looking for technology innovations to foster a better relationship with their citizens and to provide online service offerings. At the same time, the onslaught of big data provides both a challenge and an opportunity. Government agencies struggle to manage the ever growing volume, variety and velocity of data. But if they overcome this challenge, and couple the management of big data along with leveraging effective analytics, governments can realize significant benefits. Big data can be used to discover economic and operational advantages. Big data can be used to better understand how citizens are responding to government programs and services. Big data can be used to improve public safety.

In this session, we will define what big data is, what impact big data has on business and government, and we’ll look at big data opportunities and challenges. The discussion will include an introduction to the security ramifications of big data.

Panel C: International Privacy Frameworks – Meeting New Challenges
(Salon C)

The OECD Guidelines have been remarkably influential in shaping privacy frameworks around the world. However, the three decades since their release have brought significant changes to the environment in which privacy principles must operate, both in terms of the benefits of responsible uses of personal data and the challenges of protecting privacy effectively. There still remains a lack of uniformity in privacy legislation across the world, with different approaches in different countries. This presentation will offer an overview of the key issues being examined by the OECD such as the role of the individual in privacy protection, the implications of cloud computing and the key role of technical and security safeguards. As well, this presentation will look at how data protection authorities from across the globe are coordinating efforts, whether through multilateral discussions or agreements relating to the sharing of information. Learn from the experts; the Chair of the OECD Working Party responsible for the review of the guidelines, and a lawyer from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, as to how policy-makers and privacy experts are working together to ensure the continued relevance of the OECD Guidelines and to help ensure a more uniform approach to protecting privacy at the international level.”

Session 9 – Keynote Speaker

Daniel J. Solove, Professor of Law, George Washington University Law School
and Paul Schwartz, Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law.

Personally identifiable information (PII) is one of the most central concepts in information privacy regulation. The scope of privacy laws typically turns on whether PII is involved. The basic assumption behind the applicable laws is that if PII is not involved, then there can be no privacy harm. At the same time, there is no uniform definition of PII in information privacy law. Moreover, computer science has shown that the very concept of PII can be highly malleable. Because PII defines the scope of so much privacy regulation, the concept of PII must be rethought. Professors Paul Schwartz (Berkeley Law School) and Daniel Solove (George Washington University Law School) will argue that PII cannot be abandoned; the concept is essential as a way to define regulatory boundaries. Instead, they will propose a new conception of PII, one that will be far more effective than current approaches.

A State of Dynamic Risk: Containment and Victory in a World of APTs
The cyber world is heating up, from Cybercriminals and Hacktivists to Nation States and arms brokers in a world Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs). The hype and speculation and fear are high, but the answer lies in some old principles revisited. Manage the unmanageable, know the enemy and build the right structures to survive and even thrive in a new state of “dynamic risk.” This is about a solid defense doctrine, operationalization and ultimately about familiar management principles applied in new ways.

Session Objectives: Provide education on this topic for security professionals; frame the issues and the players through the introduction and opening remarks; frame a “modernized” defense doctrine and principles; make recommendations; seek actionable solutions that can be implemented today.

The Elements of a Data Governance Program: People, Practices, Policies and Technology
This keynote will focus on the evolving needs of organizational governance and accountability. Governance and accountability are multifaceted concepts that must be applied in ways that are accessible to the individual, credible at the level of the organization and extensible across the ecosystem. The elements of such a program are based in organizational policies and processes, the technology that supports them and people that oversee and implement them. Today’s accountability and governance program must be developed collaboratively across disciplines to assure that each element supports and underpins the other. Where technology may have limitations to secure data beyond the transaction; policies, processes and contracts may supplement. Technology may support policies and processes through identity management, rights allocation, audit and other tools. When all of these elements function together the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. As part of this keynote we will also consider trends in Canadian law and practice as well as specific applications of technology in identity and privilege management.

(Oak Bay I)

The safe keeping of one’s identity is key to the merger of our online and real world daily interactions. Shopping, banking, credit, voting, social networks, the cloud, government services, and new services that await invention depend largely on the fact that you are really you. If a seller or service provider never encounters the physical you they must be willing to accept, and trust, the electronic tokens that claim to be you. There are many institutions competing to become the predominant internet identity provider: telecommunications companies, banks, Facebook, PayPal, and of course, Government. The race is on to build internet-scale, trusted identity services.

Sierra Systems has delivered identity management solutions, strategic direction and policy to Canadian Public Sector organizations. We see common patterns of success in many initiatives and emerging trends as more organizations make the shift to participate in the online identity ecosystem. Come and hear our perspective on patterns, trends, and what works in identity solutions for the Public Sector.

Steve Simske, HP Fellow, Global leaders, Hewlett-Packard Labs, Secure Document Lifecycle; Member, World Economic Forum Global Agenda Council on Illicit Trade, Chief Inventor, NASA

Who am I and where have I been?
These are perhaps the two most crucial concerns for identity. Authentication (who I am) and tracking (where I am) impact—and are impacted by—the current state of privacy and security. On the one hand, there are many different ways to track an individual—on-line activity, mobile phone GPS, retail activity, public surveillance, etc.—all of which may benefit specific security needs. On the other hand, there is the reduction in privacy associated with authenticating (non-reputable identification) the person. Tracking is not authentication; for example, what if someone is borrowing/stealing your mobile phone? Also, people may opt out of specific monitoring activities. On the other hand, what about the (perhaps inadvertent) losses of privacy due to narcissism and convenience—for example, Facebook and GPS services, respectively? In this keynote, the tradeoff between privacy and security needs will be discussed in the context of the rapidly changing nature of what identity really means now and in the years to come. Solutions to some of these challenges will be outlined, including the adoption of supply chain, analytics and dynamic biometric approaches to afford varying degrees of anonymity in the continuum between privacy and security.
