Computer security expert Raj Goel is making is sixth appearance as a speaker and presenter at the New York State cybersec event in Albany in early June.

 

New Yorkʼs Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) is hosting the event.

 

Solving The Security Puzzle is the theme for the 16th Annual New York State Cyber Security Conference and 9th Annual Symposium on Information Assurance. The combined event will be held June 3-4 in Albany, NY.

 

This year the topic is PANOPTICON – Architecture Of Global Surveillance – Life Of A Chile in 2014

 

“For the past 10 years, I have focused on how governments and corporations have invaded our privacy.  This year, I flip the research on it’s head and demonstrate how parents, grandparents and families are destroying children’s privacy at birth.”

 

Mr. Goel said people need to be proactive on this matter. Once information is freely given away, itʼs too late to do anything about it.

 

“Once the information gets out, itʼs there. You can never completely get it back. There will always be a copy of it somewhere and someone is going to go looking for it,” he said. “You need to take steps to prevent it from happening.”

 

Goals of the Conference are:

 

  • To educate the community about protecting information
  • To increase awareness about cyber security threats and risks
  • To sharpen technical skills
  • To present cutting edge information to broaden cyber security professionals’ knowledge
  • To ensure participants leave the event with practical information that can be applied directly to their specific cyber security environment

 

“Individual consumers and complete corporations moving to Social Media and the cloud has had a resounding impact on how our profession manages enterprise security,” he said.
