Risk & IT Governance
Most IT risks arise not from technical or low level people issues but from the failure of the enterprise's oversight and governance processes for IT. The business needs to get involved. For risk to be understandable, it must be expressed clearly.

Michael Thomas, General Manager, SecureData 365
Mike's 30+ years of experience includes multiple disciplines in IT for large Fortune 200 organizations. As the CISO and Director of IT Security for two Fortune 200 companies, Mike led the implementation of technical security and the risk strategy functions. He led efforts to build secured e-commerce implementations for online sales, pioneered the use of digital signatures on the net, and delivered compliant systems under new regulations and codes such as SOX and PCI.

What a Waste
In this presentation Tom will discuss the issues of electronic waste including:
1. Truths about electronic waste
2. Electronic waste concerns
3. Option for electronic waste
4. What you should expect to see in the near future
