Uncategorized Registration is open for CIO Exchange: Open or Secure? Shane Schick @ShaneSchick Published: July 16th, 2009Now that it’s exactly two months away, I’m pleased to announce a newone-day conference we’re putting together that will help the ITmanager’s boss learn how to wrestle with one of the fundamental debatesin enterprise technology: how do you strike a balance between opennessand security?The CIO Exchange, which will happen on Sept. 16 in Toronto, is beingdesigned as a peer-to-peer soujourn (we’d have called it anunconference, but this is for grownups — just kidding!) with a mix ofguest speakers and roundtables. Here’s the description, as developed byComputerWorld Canada editor Dave Webb:OPEN or SECURE?Your corporate information system has to strike a constant balance between twooften-competing principles: the openness necessary to integrate with all partnersin the value chain, and the security to ensure the safety of systems and intellectualproperty – and from potential legal liability.For example, your workforce is becoming increasingly mobile, demandingremote access to the corporate system. Yet that gateway to the enterprise is apotential crack in its armour, and the very devices those workers use can pose thethreat of compromising the system – and, in case of loss, exposing confidentialcorporate data.Likewise, social media offers your enterprise the opportunity to engagecustomers and partners in new and effective ways. But the disintermediationfrom corporate approval processes can mean leakage of intellectual propertyand damage to your brand.How do we create an enterprise architecture of systems, policies and peopleto balance these sometimes conflicting imperatives? Join us for a frank and opendiscussion on openness and security in the new enterprise.This is going to be a really interesting day, and we’ll be kicking it off with special guest Chris S. Thomas,co-author of Mashup Corporations and chief strategist at Intel Corp.We’ll be doing this at the Toronto Board of Trade and yes, it’s free.Contact my colleague Ana Chin ( achin at itworldcanada.com) to get on the list.
