Abstract:

This talk will focus on increased awareness about privacy and security 
among organizations in an e-business environment and how they can leverage 
privacy to their competitive advantage. To reach this goal, Miyo will 
provide information on the impact of new information technologies on 
business practices, recent public opinion surveys on privacy and 
information-handling practices, and the impact of new privacy legislation 
in Canada, the United States and Australia will be provided. Miyo will also 
provide information on corporate data security programs. Miyo's talk will 
conclude with an explanation of the four ingredients required for the 
adoption of successful programs.
