Privacy: the why, what, and how
Which data breach did you read about this week? Seems like you can’t scan the news without reading about yet another lost laptop, compromised database, or stolen identity. Privacy is suddenly becoming a necessary element of conducting business. It’s mostly viewed as a cost, and indeed that’s true: new government regulations around the world have begun to impose strict and complicated privacy requirements on businesses. But might there also be ways privacy could become a business enabler, perhaps providing competitive differentiation? What kinds of privacy policies, procedures, tools, and techniques are useful? How should people implement these? What’s the link between security and privacy, anyway—are they complimentary or in opposition? Kai Axford will begin providing some answers to these and other thorny issues related to privacy.

Protecting your network: NAP, IPsec and Server and Domain Isolation
A few years ago, corporate firewalls were considered adequate protection for client computers against the threats from the Internet. Nowadays, especially with mobile computers, that is no longer the case. In this session, we discuss how new technologies such as Network Access Protection (NAP) and Server and Domain Isolation (SDI) can help protect network assets by segmenting your network logically, instead of physically by using firewalls. Several upcoming Microsoft products integrate with NAP, so it is important to understand that technology well.

Virtualization raises certain unique security requirements, and provides some interesting security capabilities, too. Join Kai Axford as he explores the interesting aspects of virtualization and security.
