Leading Internet and Security Industry Executives and Commissioner of Federal Trade Commission to Address Cyber Security Issues.
With spam now comprising two-thirds of all e-mail traffic around the world and the increasing threat of spyware and phishing, information security becomes more important to the global economy and to individual users every day. To examine these issues more closely, the Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC) will hold its first GTISC Security Summit on Tuesday, January 18 at 10:30 a.m. at the Global Learning & Conference Center on the Georgia Tech campus. Experts from the Federal Trade Commission and leading security and Internet organizations including CipherTrust, EarthLink (ELNK), Internet Security Systems (ISSX), RSA Security (RSAS) and the Georgia Tech College of Computing will gather to discuss current security issues. The Summit will also showcase Atlanta's increasingly important role as a center of the security industry.
Orson Swindle, Commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission, will give the keynote address entitled, "The Road to Regulation: Do You Really Want to Go There?" Swindle was sworn in as a Commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission in 1997, and he was appointed in 2001 as head of the U.S. Delegation to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Experts Group to review the 1992 OECD Guidelines for the Security of Information Systems.
Following Swindle's keynote address, a panel discussion by leading security experts will outline the latest security issues facing the industry from their different perspectives as Internet service providers, information security firms, researchers and educators.
