ABSTRACT

The increasing availability of data is rapidly changing how businesses
operate. Large and diverse pools of information enable rich
value-added services and important societal benefits, but they also
create a whole range of new security and privacy challenges. What is
the role of state in ensuring Internet commerce, activities, and
trust? What is a reasonable expectation of privacy? Scott Charney will
share his views on the NSA revelations as well as the industry
perspective regarding concerns about government metadata programs, the
top key cyber security challenges and Microsoft's view of what we need
to know as we try to advance cyber security policy.
