Call for presentations
Deadline for Proposals: 8 May
Programme
Theme: A look across applications, devices, borders & the cloud!
OASIS, in collaboration with EEMA, plan to bring together privacy and identity
international experts to stimulate fresh thinking and novel approaches to
dealing with security and privacy risks in our increasingly hyperconnected
world of complex cloud applications and distributed devices. Hosted at CA Technologies historic DittonManor conference centre, near Windsor, the conference will generate dialogue
across government and business, combining high-profile keynote speakers,
interactive roundtable sessions, and moderated debates.
About the event theme
As critical infrastructures, applications, devices, and individuals rapidly become networked and inter-dependent, impacting virtually every facet of our personal, social, governmental and economic lives, the management of information security and privacy risks must also expand and deepen to keep pace with the threat landscape. Understanding risks and having mitigation strategies are our only hope. Long term planning, that incorporates solutions at every level, including very large-scale systems such as complex cloud applications, is key. For most people it is exhausting having to think about all the different devices, applications, accounts and identities each with their own privacy regimes, applications, access controls, and determined adversaries that we have to deal with. And with new, hyperconnected devices and infrastructures – the Internet of Everyone and Everything – risk becomes even more difficult to assess and control.
This
community event is designed to provide practical guidance to those looking to
take advantage of secure and creditable identity and privacy options.
Thought-provoking presentations and panel discussions will tackle the key
issues in our hyperconnected world.
OASIS invites our
members to submit proposals that share experiences and knowledge, through case
study presentations, interoperability demonstrations, and Q&A roundtables.
Presentation ideas that advocate responsible risk management measures that will
work in this new hyperconnected world and allow us to invest in building long
term, secure and privacy-sensitive systems, devices and data centers that
protect individuals’ privacy, and reliably execute responsible security
policies. The agenda will accommodate both
30 minute presentations and/or 60 minute roundtable discussions. The Program Committee will peer-review all
proposals and reserves the right to adapt or restructure proposals submitted to
ensure an interesting and compelling program. Marketing/promotional proposals will not be
considered for the programme.
The programme committee is soliciting proposals in the following areas:
- Managing privacy and its risks and responsibilities
- Achieving higher levels of trust in devices and their networked infrastructure
- Working through identity provisions for cloud applications
