This presentation is given by Mr Paul King, Senior Security Advisor at CISCO. Paul will give an overview of how organisations are at risk from corporate espionage - how organisations might be attacked and how they might reduce the risk. The talk will use Cisco's own organisation as an example. Paul will also discuss some of the research he is doing in this space.
Paul is Senior Security Advisor in Cisco’s Corporate Security Programs Organisation (CSPO). He reports to the Chief Security Officer (CSO) and advises on security matters, from specific threats to policy issues, both internally and externally. Paul carries out research into the detection of sophisticated targeted attacks, especially using data analysis techniques. He also works very closely with commercial organizations, especially within the financial and government sectors.
Since joining the company in early 1994, Paul has worked with and advised some of the company’s largest customers, and has been a frequent public speaker on a variety of security related issues including Internet, e-business and corporate security. In his current capacity as Senior Security Advisor, Paul also represents Cisco in various UK Government departments such as the Home Office and Law Enforcement Agencies. Paul is on the Steering Committee of the DTI’s Cyber Security KTN (Knowledge Transfer Network). He also represents Cisco on the Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure’s (CPNI) Vendor Security Information Exchange (VSIE) where he is currently the chairman of that group. In his own right he is also a member of the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) Permanent Stakeholders Group (PSG).
