MORE: A congressional committee is examining whether the SEC should
    require public filings of the state of a company's cyber risk
    profile, similar to the Y2K filings that were required in 1999.
    Cyber security standards are already emerging in health care,
    banking, insurance, finance, electric power, and
    telecommunication, yet companies are frequently unable to buy
    secure software from vendors. Cressey's presentation will address
    such issues as: Do security standards help security and, if so,
    who should develop them? What is the appropriate burden sharing
    among the enterprise and the vendors they rely upon?

    Cressey managed the U.S. government's response to the Millennium
    terror alert, the USS COLE attack, and the September 11 attacks.
    He also served overseas with the U.S. Embassy in Israel and with
    United Nations peacekeeping missions in Somalia and the former
    Yugoslavia.

Now in its 22nd year, the Strictly Business Technology Expo, produced by Cygnus Expositions, is the Midwest's largest technology expo. Registration is free online or $20 at the door. For more information visit www.strictlybusinessexpo.com.
