The Computer Security Institute recently reported
a 64% increase in corporate security breaches from a year ago, and those are
only the breaches corporations
know about. The 21st Century Corporation faces a new set of issues that have
the potential to wreak havoc with the best-laid business plans. Connecting
people, processors, and everyday objects on a global scale introduces risk
beyond anything we have ever experienced. Unfortunately, the rise of security
breaches follows the rise in computer usage and connectivity. More access
equals more risk.
Trust is at the heart of this discussion.
Building customer loyalty and a lasting
brand are directly related to the company’s ability to understand and act
upon the new risk imperatives. Attendees joined us to explore and describe a
completely new set of concerns that demand attention at the highest level of
the company. We uncovered the latest thinking on the technology of security from
the world’s leading security experts. Authentication, biometrics and cryptography
were just a few of the topics explored. We heard from today’s most experienced
corporate risk planners and pushed our understanding of what it will take to
survive in the new economy.
