10.30International Keynote Speaker The weakest link: Securing Passwords
For all of the technologies that have been assembled for virus
protection, information on repudiation, DMZ proxying, etc,
you might be lulled into a sense of calm about security
threats. It is easy to perceive security as an arms race, with
good guys and bad guys throwing more technology at each
other to defend and defeat protective measures. Truth be
told, in most organisations, one of the most vulnerable points
in security armor remains the simplest: user passwords. In
this session, Jon William Toigo will discuss the vulnerability of
password-based authentication systems and what can be
done to address them. Specifically, he will cover:
• Common password attacks
• Methods for password auditing
• Common-sense methods for password protection
• The new (old) case for biometrics
• And why, even with protection in place, you still need to
prepare for the inevitable: a security breach

12.15Panel discussion: Balancing risk and cost

• What does an effective security strategy cost?
• Is security perceived as a line item expense or an integral
part of systems design?
• Can security discipline also deliver other business value?
• Are there rules of thumb or best practices to suggest
what should be spent on security as a percentage of IT
budget or corporate revenues?

13.00Networking luncheon
 
14.00Business case for spending on information security
The results of the ISF’s study into information security
investment and staffing provide illuminating insights into how
top management’s commitment to security can directly impact
the frequency and magnitude of incidents suffered by the
organisation. Simon will share some of these insights and
explain how strong information security management initiatives
can have a real impact on the security of arrangements “on the
ground”. When the average cost of the most serious incident
across 84 surveyed enterprises cost US$1 million, the business
case for security investment becomes a compelling one!
