Presented by Chris Boyd & Wayne Porter
Wednesday Feb. 7, 2007, 9:10 - 10:20 a.m.

provide in-depth information on fraud strategies, and illustrate the
financial impact of click fraud and other methods.
Peer-to-Peer Discussion on Skype and IM in the Office
In addition, FaceTime CEO Kailash Ambwani will facilitate a discussion
on the security issues surrounding the use of instant messaging and Skype
in the enterprise. RSA Peer-to-Peer (P2P) sessions are designed to
encourage conference participants to actively engage in top-of-mind
discussions in a small group environment.

Many security professionals have seen consumer applications creep into
enterprises, and have taken varied approaches to blocking or allowing
programs such as Skype or IM. By mixing first-hand experience and a variety
of opinions on the risks and benefits of managing consumer applications,
the session will help participants balance the benefits of empowered
employees and new technology with security dangers.
