Electronic Assets as a Source of Intelligence Gathering and Monetization

Email has surpassed the telephone and fax machine in becoming the central nervous system for enterprise communication in the modern era. However, email systems are under siege by an unrelenting bombardment of spam and viruses. 

The twin scourge of spam and viruses are demolishing productivity; devouring broadband capacity and IT resources; and, exposing organizations to liabilities ranging from sexual harassment to records management failure. Moreover, as new releases of software become more complex, there will be more holes for viruses to seep through.

In the fight for the communications lifeblood of enterprise, information technology professionals are banding together with lawyers to defend their organizations from this destructive duopoly. Enterprises must be up-to-date with the latest developments in:

▪ Anti-Spam technologies for ensuring the integrity of online commerce
▪ Ensuring the security of emails used to engage in online commerce
▪ Legal tools to take on spammers, spimmers and hackers
▪ Liability / compliance issues associated with maintaining electronic audit trails
▪ Mining email as a reservoir of enterprises intelligence

This program is uniquely geared to help enterprises inoculate their email systems against the onslaught of spam and viruses through technology and legal remedies. Participants will learn how to prevent the dissemination of inappropriate material traversing their electronic communications systems. 

Moreover, this conference is designed to help organizations monetize their electronic communications systems by conducting ecommerce and gathering intelligence from email archives. 

Don't miss the opportunity to listen to renowned experts share their insights with you.

Spam Accounts for 76% of All Email and Viruses Threaten More Damage

It wasn't so long ago that email was hailed as the Internet's "killer app". Remember how we marveled at email's speed, direct reach, viral marketability and archivability? Well, the email infrastructure that we recently knew has become emasculated by the unrelenting assault of spam, viruses and worms. 

Not only have spam and worms made email a less effective communications medium but enterprises are experiencing reduced productivity, far higher costs and liability associated with their email systems. Further, consumers' growing resistance to incoming email is imperiling online commerce. 

Email is becoming the gateway for the infiltration of increasingly devilish viruses. Also, it is often through email ports of call that spyware and viruses invade computers, steal identities and continue to threaten the unauthorized release of corporate trade secrets and the theft of intellectual property.

There are a host of technological and legal remedies available to help network administrators take back the electronic communications infrastructure. Listen to experts discuss the merits of competing technologies and strategies for defeating spam and inoculating networks from viruses. 

Further, this one-day conference will delve into important surrounding issues such as ensuring on-line privacy; blocking phishing (identity theft); gleaning intelligence from email archives; and, protecting digital assets and more.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to listen to renowned authorities discuss the most important issues surrounding email delivery, security, privacy, and archivability.

I look forward to meeting you on August 10, 2004 in New York City.

I remain,
