London, UK, 25 September 2007 - RSA® Conference, the world's leading information security
conference group, today announced the full list of keynotes for its 8th annual RSA

professionals, developers, architects and vendors - and will deliver its educational
content through keynotes, tutorials, and more than 100 sessions across 10 tracks.
Featuring keynote panels for the first time, the RSA Conference Europe programme will
educate attendees with exciting new sessions:
A keynote panel, Data Security and Breach Notification Requirements: Pros and Cons on
Monday 22nd October, will feature government and industry experts discussing how
government bodies around the world have either added or are considering new data security
and breach notification requirements aimed at protecting sensitive information and
consumers from the growing global problem of online fraud. Speakers, including moderator
Marika Konings from the Cyber Security Industry Alliance and panelists Marc Rotenberg
from the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC); David Smith from the Information
Commissioner's Office in the UK; and Christopher Kuner from Hunton & Williams will
discuss effective ways to make progress -- ranging from increased notification
requirements and security safeguards to a more hands-off approach and industry
self-regulation.
The second keynote panel, on the last day of the Conference - Pandora's Box: Youth and
the Internet - will discuss the Internet's immeasurable impact on the sexual exploitation
of children. The panel of experts, including John Carr from the National Children's
Homes; Metropolitan Police Detective Superintendent, Susan Knight; Ed Gibson, Chief
Security Advisor at Microsoft Corporation; and social networking site Bebo's Chief
