Panel Description:
When most organizations think about information protection, compliance is the
top issue today. This new level of consciousness has become a great benefit to
information security professionals, as well as their greatest nightmare. The
leadership of many organizations are now falling into the trap of "security by
compliance" -- which has created a false sense of security for them. They
believe that if they meet their legal and regulatory compliance requirements,
they have fulfilled their requirements for information risk management and
protection. This panel will discuss the challenge of taking advantage of the
benefits created by new compliance requirements, while also overcoming the
challenge of this new operating procedure.
