The evolution of Boundaryless Information Flow brings with it the requirement to get the right information to the right person at the right time. Fundamental to this is the need for the information to be secure at all stages of transmission and to authenticate the sender and recipient.

This event will focus upon the security aspects of boundarlyess information, comprising an agenda of high profi le industry speakers and an inter- active intrusion attack scenario. The Open Group will bring together IT customers, security system suppliers and representatives from the leading consortia working in this area, to address topics such as:

• Intrusion attack / deterrence / response
• Trusted Information
• Message Authentication
• Operational Risk Management
• Identity Management
• Corporate Liability Saving

At 09.35, StarCorp’s online order-processing application goes down. The initial word from IT operations is that it’s a hacker attack. Getting the system back on line is the company’s highest priority. A SWAT team headed by IT Operations Manager Rocky Wardrop tries to identify and fix the problem. StarCorp CEO Brenda Star is determined that the offender will not go unpunished.

Two sessions deal firstly with intrusion response procedures; and then with legal liabilities and remedies, highlighting the conflicts and benefits of IT and legal departments working in partnership, and throwing up some unexpected results. Be prepared for some surprises!
