Topic: Emerging Technologies and Future Trends in Information Security "Internet security breaches are costing businesses between $140 million and $240 million a year...The Employers and Manufacturers Association (Northern) survey also found fewer companies are protecting their computer systems." New Zealand Herald 06/12/05 What is the point of security? Are companies any safer? Even the most paranoid of organisations, an unlimited security budget does not offer a safe and bullet proof existence. As Arthur Dent in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy stated: "Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of." Emerging Technologies and Future Trends in Information Security: * Technology - what's new and where are we headed? * Security programme management trends * Where are we heading with security? Presenter: John Martin John is the Security Practice Leader of IBM NZ, he has over 25 years of experience in various fields of security including Information Security. His background includes a 20 year stint with the UK HMG Foreign & Commonwealth Office or what you would term Foreign Affairs. Since then he moved to the commercial world with Marconi, followed by Logical Networks to the present. Lech J. Janczewski NZISF Chair --
