10:00 Section I: Securing Private Data -- How to Assure the Customer
Overview: Internet users -- both consumers and businesses -- want their private data to be secure. Yet, privacy can be threatened by any number of factors including exposure to hackers or disgruntled employees, theft or other unauthorized access to private databases. To deal with such threats, businesses must assess how privacy policies - or lack thereof - can be sustained within their business models. While many companies have adopted strict privacy policies, such policies are meaningless if adequate Internet security technology and procedures are not also in place. Fortunately, promising new privacy and security technologies offer Internet users powerful new tools for assuring that their data is not misused and is secure, and companies and government agencies are doing formal audits to assess how they operate. This panel will examine how organizations are ensuring the privacy of their customer's data and how we can assure consumers that they are secure on-line. In addition, the section will assess the level of resources required to enhance security of private data and determine if/how business models can be sustained for the long term.

11:45 Section II: Reliability of the Internet -- More Robust and Dependable Networks and Applications
Overview: Internet users and providers alike want the network and the services it provides to be available and perform well as they come to depend on it for commerce, communications, recreation, and access to information. The very feature that makes the Internet -- and the information technology processing machinery it links -- robust and efficient as a network services infrastructure, also require well-coordinated approaches to standards. Also, operational problem solving must deal with events ranging from advances in technology, to physical wire cuts, to software mis-configuration, to malicious attacks. This panel will examine broad industry collaboration across a myriad of interests and capabilities that has created the amazing development and growth of the Internet, and will try to pinpoint specific initiatives and technologies that need to be developed or enhanced.

2:30 pm Section III: Security of the Internet -- Technology and Policy Choices for the Future
Overview: The Internet has become an important part of critical infrastructure systems around the globe, as a communications tool and as a driver of economic development. Reliance on the Internet will continue to grow as it becomes more pervasive and a more integral part of daily living. Yet, even as the network grows, viruses, denial of service, and other malicious attacks cause substantial economic damage and in extreme cases, threaten critical infrastructure systems. This panel will examine how the private sector and governments are collaborating to improve security and reliability of mission critical systems and to detect and respond to cyber attacks. The panel will highlight industry-led efforts to develop tools that deter hackers and prevent cyber attacks, and determine what/how safeguards must be implemented to improve the security and reliability of the next generation Internet.
