G3 - Making Trust a Priority
How IT can add value to a brand, while protecting users from online threats

How IT can add value to a brand, while protecting users from online threats.   Getting C-level buy-in across an organization and making online trust and brand protection is becoming job one for many executives, yet getting departments and employees aligned is often a major challenge.  With growing political pressures and decentralized responsibilities, aligning profit maximization, security and privacy can become conflicting goals.  This session will provide insights from two of the leading insiders who will share perspectives and war stories on achieving these goals, often when there may be no obvious owner, or immediate business value.  While there is no silver bullet, attendees will learn of the realities and business value of email authentication, EV certificates and consumer education.
