WITI Presents: Network Security Issues - Is Your Business Safe?
Linda N. Betz, Director, IT Policy and Information Security, Office of the CIO, IBM Corporation
Friday, 10:15am - 11:15am
IT security is an every changing set of threats and concerns. For several years the focus has been on virus protection and protecting the stability of the IT Infrastructure. These challenges will continue to exist as hackers become more creative, and we will need to continue that focus. The emerging security trends are dealing with the growing number of people that need to access company data and infrastructure as we become a global company with a network of partners and outsourcers. Global privacy legislation is also driving us to become more vigilant at protecting personal information. These areas are driving more focus on assuring that companies have strong global access control on assets and have increased encryption. Technology alone will not provide the solutions. Technology needs to be a partner to company standards and compliance. This session will take a deeper dive into the current security and privacy landscape.

Big, Meaningful and Significant
Margaret Heffernan, Author, Entrepreneur
Friday, 10:15am - 11:15am
Women's businesses are typically dismissed as small, home-based and economically insignificant. The facts are completely otherwise: women are starting companies at twice the rate of men; nearly half the private companies in the US are owned and run by women; their companies are responsible for more payroll than the Fortune 500 combined - and women's businesses alone can be said to have saved the US from recession. More and more of them have revenues over a million dollars - and yet more could have. As the CEO of five different businesses in the United States and the UK, Margaret Heffernan knows a thing or two about female entrepreneurship. Find out how women are proving such phenomenally successful entrepreneurs, what it takes to succeed at your own business - and how growth could be even bigger, better and more fun.
