evolving and highly-connected business environment. The panelists who will

to a "virtual" online audience across the United States. Panelists at the
session will include:

internationally-renowned author and founder of Counterpane Internet
Security; also designer of the popular Blowfish and Twofish encryption
algorithms

responsible for the continued development and implementation of Sun's
data privacy policies and practices

During the eForum at RSA Conference 2008, panellists will discuss a
range of risk resilience and security issues -- for example, the challenges
posed to data integrity and security as the corporate space extends beyond
traditional perimeters; the growing complexity of network use and
applications of Web 2.0 technologies within the work place; ways businesses
can harness the full potential of user collaboration through blogs, wikis
and social networking sites, while maintaining standards and security. They
will also offer their perspectives on a variety of security concerns, such
as: the general benefits and business value of semantic applications; how
entrepreneurs and business visionaries can set themselves apart on the road
to web 3.0; and the security challenges of adopting semantic technologies.
