From identity theft to privacy compliance, from viruses to online financial fraud
and inappropriate use of personal information, security and privacy issues have
become top-level concerns for numerous businesses, organizations, and
government. The need to address security and privacy issues is being viewed by
both business and government as a critical driver of competitive advantage and
innovation in the knowledge economy. Senior-level managers share these
concerns as it is only with commitment from management together with the
appropriate technology, processes, and procedures that these issues can be
managed.
The National Research Council Canada - Institute for Information Technology is
pleased to collaborate with the University of New Brunswick and IFIP
(www.ifip.org) to bring you the Atlantic Privacy and Security Summit 2007. This
unique one-day event will present prominent keynote speakers and expert
panelists who will share their thoughts on the challenges but also opportunities
surrounding security and privacy issues in a borderless world. A highlight of the
summit will be the keynote address by Dr. Jonathan Cave, RAND Europe.
Dr. Jonathan Cave is a game theorist and regulatory economist. He is a senior
economist at RAND Europe (www.rand.org/randeurope, an independent think
tank), and senior lecturer in economics at the University of Warwick. He is a
founding member of the Brussels Chapter of the Club of Rome and co-founding member of the Center for Ethical Identity Assurance. He was trained at Yale, Cambridge and Stanford universities, and formerly worked for the Bank of England, the US Federal Trade Commission and the Universities of Illinois and
