Eat Lunch AND Avoid Identity Theft!
Thursday, Oct. 23, 12:30 p.m.-2:00 p.m.
Organizations at all levels are a repository for personal
information. That information, whether it is stored electronically
or physically, is the target of identity thieves.
This keynote, featuring former FBI Special Agent Jeff Lanza,
explores the way criminals steal identities from organizations and
the steps organizations can take to protect the personal information
that they control. As a former FBI spokesman, Lanza has participated
in hundreds of television, radio, and newspaper interviews during
his tenure, including appearances on The Today Show,
Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, Larry
King Live, Hannity and Colmes, and National Public
Radio. His high-tech background and vast experience will provide
valuable insight to help you lead your organization's fight!
NOTE: A ticketed lunch will be
served from 11:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Additional gallery seating will
be provided for attendees not participating in lunch.
Psst...Pass It On!
Remember to invite others on your corporate governance, risk
management, and compliance teams. After all, good records and
information management requires a cooperative effort among the key
players: RIM, IT, legal, and compliance. There's plenty for everyone
at the ARMA 2008 Conference & Expo. See you in Vegas!
