 The CSO Seminar Executive Series on Document & Information ASSURANCE

The CSO Seminar Executive Series on Document & Information ASSURANCE

September 14, 2006
San Francisco, CA
Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf

"Information...it's the blood that flows through the veins of every organization. As such, that information is critical to the success of business, so it must be organized and it must be protected, both for the success of the organization and often to meet regulatory requirements. Historically, businesses have packed away documents and memos into boxes and shipped them off to storage. But in today's modern enterprise, documents and correspondence exist primarily in electronic format and that poses challenges for enterprise security executives from both a management and a legal perspective. Assuring the validity and integrity of documents, from simple memos to contracts, as well as maintaining electronic communications in irrefutable format is a difficult task...but there are best practices out there. CSO Magazine's Executive Seminar on Document & Information Assurance will examine the legal requirements associated with document and information assurance, the best practices in building a policy and program in your organization, and look at the solutions available to help businesses manage this undertaking. Attendees will hear from legal experts as well as peer security and technology executives who will share their insights and experiences in dealing with this critical issue."
