Philip Virgo, Eurim – the European Information Society Group
3.20 Practical Implementation The issues involved in the creation of an enterprise-wide secure data policy – and the difference between what happens in practice and what should happen.

4.00 Security Breaches Survey A report on the just released survey, throwing light on the level of IT security breaches within the UK, and exposing the most common methods of external data theft. Until
recently, most organisations’ security policy was about keeping threats out, but increasingly organisations are concerned about what stays in. Security practitioners have to deal with issues that arise from digital media (including disks and USB sticks), email, IM and other online channels, and now mobile technologies. Accidents can, and will, happen, and malicious action is always a threat. This session considers the best methods for keeping your data where it should be, through prevention and detection.
