Update - Keynote Speaker at IEEE i-Society 2010

As mentioned in a previous blog post of mine, I have been invited to be a Keynote speakers at IEEE i-Society 2010, the International Conference on Information Society.

Thanks to those people that sent me their input and suggestions. I kept into account the input and feedback in the speech abstract that I sent to the organisers:

“We are living in interesting times. New trends affect the information society (organisations and people), such as: increased availability of services in the cloud; the adoption of web 2.0 and social networking for personal and business purposes; pervasive mobile computing; the consumerization of the enterprise.

Along with many new opportunities for people and organisations, we are also assisting to the raise of new security and privacy threats and an increased role played by the organised cybercrime.

People and organisations are going to be more and more impacted by these trends and threats. Organisations need to better understand the dynamic threat environment they are fighting against and where to effectively make their security investments. More assurance and trust is required on the Internet.

This keynote discusses these trends, briefly analyses emerging threats and provides an overview of the organised cybercrime ecosystem. It highlights a few needs and research opportunities in key areas, including: automation of security lifecycle management, economics of security, security analytics, trusted virtualisation, identity assurance and privacy management. Related work done by HP Labs in this space - in collaboration with the UK research community - is presented and discussed.”
