Security in the Third Millennium - a Round Table Discussion
Led by Doc Farmer, IS Security Analyst, Riyad Bank, Saudi ArabiaManagement Stream - Thursday 2 November 2000
We are on the cusp of the Third Millennium - it starts in 2001, not 2000. In the past 50 years we have seen cultural and technological changes which are unprecedented in 3 million years of Human evolution, and 10,000 years of Human history. What technological changes will come in the next 10, 100 or 1,000 years? What will be their cultural and personal impact? And what security issues will be faced by businesses and individuals as we enter this next phase of history?
The roundtable discussion will bring together experts in the fields of computer science, business, privacy, communications, computer ethics, audit and, of course, security. It looks at technological issues in the pipeline, and discusses the security issues surrounding them. Areas of discussion will include creation of an ethics-based business society, biological computer systems, direct Human-computer interfaces, zero-time computers, global network design, individual privacy versus societal rights and other subjects.
