Maintaining Our Privacy Rights in the New Age of Technology and Surveillance

The debate over computer and Internet privacy underwent a huge shift after Septembers terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It delivered a huge twist to the consumer privacy debate, and it seems the priority is now on tough and potentially privacy-infringing security measures such as ID Cards, Video scanning and email interception. Financial institutions now face dilemmas on how to convince customers to part with personal data in return for online services and products. They must assure customers about the security of the information, while taking into account not to create new concerns about personal privacy.

Strategic Research Institute presents its Privacy Paradox: The Gain of Security vs. Privacys Loss" on June 17-18, 2002 at the Millennium Knickerbocker in Chicago, IL. This conference will address the questions under the watchful eye of the regulators -- balancing the technology for security and other privacy regulations.

Providers must reassess how they collect, share and safeguard data both inside and outside the organization and how to portray that process to their customers. You will hear from industry experts on how they have succeeded in this new age of privacy by efficiently managing their technology and marketing efforts.    You will walk away with knowledge on topics such as:

·   Individual attitudes about information privacy, security practices, and the tradeoffs people are willing to make for them
·   New government disclosure laws versus privacy
·   Tools for successful integration of biometrics into existing network infrastructures
·   Privacy versus Internet Management in the Workplace
·   Staying ahead of the curve on bills and regulations

This is an ideal opportunity for business leaders and policymakers who need to know the privacy playing field decision on the front of lines of implementing policy and technology solutions to meet and share ideas about how to cope with the legal, technological and practical issues related to the protection of personal information.
