Intertrust and LINE 2nd Security Summit Gathers Global Experts to Examine the State of Trust in the Digital AgeIntertrust and LINE Corporation co-hosted the 2nd Security Summit on enabling digital trust at San Francisco's Fort Mason Center on November 14th. Experts from academia, public policy, and industry presented the latest research on emerging technologies, and discussed current market trends in security and policies around the subject of privacy vs. access to data. Each panel and speech emphasized the trends driving change in information security. But above all others, the significance of the upcoming European Union's GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) received much attention. Due to be implemented on May 25, 2018, many speakers pointed to the expected impact of GDPR and warned that most companies and governments are largely unprepared. Any missteps could prove to be very costly and extremely damaging to an organization's reputation and bottom line. Distinguished speakers at the Summit included award-winning computer scientists with expertise in secure systems, and privacy protection. Among them were:
Megan Stifel, from the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security said, "The LINE and Intertrust Security Summit brought together a diverse set of experts in cybersecurity and privacy in a well-curated, intimate, day-long discussion that offered content to enable participants to think more thoughtfully about the future of the digital economy." Steve Hunt, Director of the North Carolina Cybersecurity, Design & Innovation Center added, "The Security Summit produced one provocative idea after the next. I was surprised how the audience, speakers, and panels kept the dialogue flowing." Intertrust nd LINE both recognize the need to maintain this momentum and to keep these topics top of mind. They agreed to host a third Security Summit in Tokyo during the spring of 2018. The companies are also planning to expand the 4th Summit soon in a yet-to-be-announced geography.
