Infotex Co-sponsors Executive Series Symposium
Purdue CERIAS,
Barnes and Thornburg, Techpoint, and Infotex will be co-sponsoring a
symposium centered around the process of turning undefined,
technology-neutral regulations such as the Gramm Leach Bliley Act or
"best practices" such as ISO17799 into technology decisions.
"We will be providing a registration page and a couple of speakers,"
says Dan Hadaway, President of Infotex, Inc. "I am also charged
with the honor of finding a few regulators who have enough courage to
sit on a panel discussion." Hadaway then shrugs and smiles.
"Know any?"
One of the speakers will be Infotex's own Matthew Jonkman, CISSP.
"I'm assuming I'll get assigned to the subject of "how much security
is too much security again.' That's always a hard one," jokes
Jonkman. "The point is the whole symposium is geared towards
upper management, so I'll try to speak English."
Consumer and privacy advocates continue to lead successful efforts
to create new tough measures to secure personal and private
information--resulting in a number of new security regulations and
many more on the horizon. Gramm-Leach-Bliley, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA,
and CIPA are just some of the regulations aimed at protecting
information and strengthening accountability--forcing responsibility
up to executives and boards. For example, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA)
is breaking ground in terms of defining a set of standards the
Security Industry has always referred to as "Security Best Practices."
"To shed light on this and other executive security decisions,"
Hadaway says, "we have invited a panel of legal, industry, regulatory,
and technical experts to answer your questions and address the
issues." Questions that will be asked include questions such as:
"What process do banking regulators expect to use to define the
meaning of intrusion detection? How does a regulator decide how often
a bank should conduct penetration tests? How often should Acceptable
Use Policies be reviewed and updated? How should businesses and
organizations determine the best use of scarce security resources? How
much is too much security?"
