Global
Terrorism - Threats, Mitigation,
and Opportunities for the Corporate
World
Mr.
Rafi Ron
President
and CEO, New Age Security Solutions
The nature of terrorism has changed
in the last couple of decades from
regional to global and from political
to religious. These changes are
reflected in terrorists target
choice, tactics, and organization.
The presentation will explore issues
such as how the corporate world
has been affected, what we are doing
about it, what works, and what doesn't
in this new kind of war. There are
different mitigation strategies.
Mr. Ron we'll compare the U.S. approach
to the EU and the Israeli approaches.
Whenever a major change in global
realities occurs, new opportunities
emerge for the corporate world.
The need to address the terrorist
threats has created a new and very
large market for homeland security
products, services, and knowledge.
Companies that recognize the need
correctly will be able to turn the
threat into an advantage.

Regulatory and Security
Compliance in a Global Economy
Mr. James Grant
DOWNLOAD
PRESENTATION
Manager, ASD Audit Compliance
Compliance Programs - Americas,
IBM Global Services
The increasing impact that
technology is having on our
world is hanging us in both
economic structure and our
social fabric. The pressures
created by this wave of change
have required governments to
begin to address these deeply
complex issues. The response has
been a variety of regulations
that seek to address concerns
ranging from business ethics to
privacy and identity theft. The
focus of this presentation is to
provide the audience with a
brief overview of these
regulations and to frame them
into the larger compliance and
security framework that business
organizations must address. The
audience should hope to leave
this discussion with a
fundamental understanding of
this "holistic" view of
government regulations, business
compliance, and security and how
they interrelate to one another
on a global basis. |
