"Critical Infrastructure
It is Critical!!!" Dr. James Young, Commissioner of Emergency Management, Ontario, Canada
In April 2004, Dr. James Young was appointed Commissioner of Emergency Management, Province of Ontario . In that capacity, Dr. Young reports to the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services on all policy and program matters related to emergency management in the Ontario Government. Dr. Young is also responsible for Emergency Management Ontario, the Office of the Fire Marshal and the Centre of Forensic Sciences. Previous to this appointment, Dr. Young was Chief Coroner for the Province of Ontario for 14 years.
Last summer's power outage affected fifty million people. Was this event a fluke or could it occur again? A Canada-US panel studied this issue and came up with a series of recommendations. The power outage is a good example of the pattern that is emerging of more frequent, bigger and more complex emergencies. These events, therefore, suggest that we must increase our critical infrastructure management programs substantially or face major disruptions in future.

IT Management is a little like Mark Twain's commentary on the weather, everyone's talking about it, but is anyone doing anything to change it? Like the weather, management of network, data, system, and security information can mean the difference between a sunny business day and a stormy one. As systems and networks increase in complexity and enterprises embrace the emerging on-demand model, one point is clear: intelligent management of disparate systems and applications is essential for 'clear skies' In this talk we take a look at where the industry is currently: overloaded and understaffed, review the reasons why "defense in depth" and information silos will not be sufficient to drive and manage business in the future. The talk explores why working smarter not harder is the only solution and sets forth a mandate for both vendors and end-users by explaining the drivers towards a convergence (reconsolidation) of all areas of information management (systems, storage, security, network) that will enable companies to turn the voluminous amounts of data and alerts into knowledge and action.

The Internet, which once held so much promise as a pillar of the 21 st century economy, has been taken over by the dark side. Cyberspace is now teeming with hackers, spammers, terrorists, pornographers, scam artists and assorted other criminal types. The dream of an e-Society powered by e-Commerce, e-Learning, e-Government and e-Health is fading as the average citizen's trust in technology begins to erode.
Can the dream be salvaged or is it already too late? Join
four
prominent privacy, security and trust panelists as they present their provocative and controversial views on the future of information and communications technology.
