Keynote Speech:
"How is InfoSec changing the world of advanced industries, financial, insurance and telecom sectors"

Information security is the key enabler that has allowed the evolution of the way in which business can make use of information. Without adequate security, today's (and tomorrow's) information services and applications would be far too risky. The development of new security technologies and practices has made so much more possible than would otherwise have been so.
This presentation will look at how information usage is evolving today and where it might go in the future. Some real-world examples will be presented, illustrating the following trends:

Globalisation - where the political, geographical and time-zone boundaries have been broken down to enable the concept of the global village market, where everyone can do business with everyone else.

Virtualisation - where the bricks and mortar limits of business have disappeared and we live in an increasingly virtual world, where even the boundary between reality and fantasy has become blurred.

Digital business - with its focus on the internet and the web for both marketing and selling of both goods and services. Some of these are of the traditional type but many more are completely new products, digital in their very nature.

Mobile communications - available to almost any citizen, even in the emerging market countries where traditional communications infrastructure is still not well developed.

Dematerialisation of cash, and the changing landscape of the banking and financial services industry.

The culmination of these trends will be demonstrated by the emergence of 'global supply chain integration', enabled by the confluence of globalisation, virtualisation and digital business, in which 'products' are manufactured from 'produce' that is sourced all over the world, where big brands are empty shells that have outsourced everything operational, and where digital information systems eliminate the need for hold 'stock' or 'inventory' for more than a couple of days supply.
