Bio-IT World Conference & Expo to Debut New Data Security TrackNEEDHAM, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- The 13th annual Bio-IT World Conference & Expo, to be held April 29-May 1 at the Seaport World Trade Center in Boston, today announced that it will debut a new disciplinary track focused on data security. The new track, "Data Security: Meeting the Challenge in a Data-Centric World," will address security services for both cloud-based systems and traditional computing. Data security is defined by the processes and mechanisms in place that prevent data misuse and identify threat risks. However, many biological research data sources, from IP to genomic to mobile, require different levels of security. It is the way data is accessed, however, and not where it exists that organizations should concern themselves with the most. "This is a track we added in response to feedback from attendees of previous year's conferences, who noted the exponential growth of data and the need to ensure proper access to and security of it," said Cindy Crowninshield, RD, LDN, Conference Director for Bio-IT World. "We will also feature our core tracks that have drawn attendees to the conference over the years and look into both the foundations and future of biotechnology." In addition to the new track on data security, other tracks being featured at Bio-IT World Conference & Expo include:
