Eric Zetlin, Director of Marketing at US manufacturer Identix, will discuss how fingerprint biometrics can play a part in e-commerce and m-commerce transaction security. Gerry Ashton of certification body Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance will discuss certification to the information security management system BS7799. Aled Miles, Vice President Northern Europe, for software security firm Symantec, will argue that info-security losses range from lost sales to lost credibility, lost productivity and lost intellectual property – which demands a secure IT strategy to combat hacking, viruses, malicious code and employee ?surfing?. And Etienne Greeff of MIS Corporate Defence Solutions will ask: why are we still being hacked?
Among the exhibitors are internet and computer software security manufacturers, and the University of Westminster (which offers part- and full-time postgraduate Masters degrees in IT security) and the British Standards Institution, offering its BS 7799: Part 2 Information Security Management. This specification for information security management systems is being revised to match other management system standards such as BS EN ISO 9001 and BS EN ISO 14001.
