We are pleased to announce that  Brightfly’s Managing Director of Research, Brandon Dunlap, was invited to provide the afternoon keynote at this year’s Cornerstones of Trust 2010 Conference in Foster City, CA.

Kicking off the afternoon sessions, Dunlap will deliver a never before seen keynote address titled “The Measure of Professional Identity” where he explores this year’s conference theme: Weathering the Storm, and what the new world of social media means for security professionals.  In just 45 minutes, you will be challenged to weigh the risks and rewards of privacy and transparency. Dispel the myths and misconceptions of managing your identity on-line. And separate the signal from the noise in h0w social media and the establishment of your professional persona can further your career ambitions and improve dialogue with your key stakeholders.

This year marks the 8th year that Bay Area professional associations have come together to create a venue for security leaders and practitioners to evaluate trends and develop responses to the challenges like increasing cost pressures, rising compliance complexity, the changing threat landscape and the disruption caused by emerging technologies.

We hope that you can make it out to this fantastic regional event and show your support for the Silicon Valley ISSA and San Francisco ISSA chapters, and their partner in this conference, the San Fransisco InfraGuard chapter.

This time last year, President Barack Obama, delivered the first-ever presidential speech dedicated entirely to cybersecurity. In this speech, he proclaimed that the nation’s digital infrastructure should be considered a “strategic national asset.” The fact that those words were uttered by the President of the United States have cast a new light on the ongoing and pervasive risks that government, business, academic and personal users face in the digital world.
