About Cyber Security World Conference 2014

Cyber security is never again a term to ignore for individuals or corporations. The daily activities of all

Americans, the country’s global economic prominence and worldwide security rely on a safe and resilient

cyberspace. Unfortunately, the number of cyber-attacks has increased dramatically over the last years, exposing

confidential personal and business data, disrupting critical operations, and imposing exorbitantly high costs on the

economy overall.

Just recently, J.P. Morgan Chase, America’s largest commercial bank with $2.39 trillion in assets, announced that

about 76 million households and 7 million of small-business customers had been affected by a cyber attack in one

of the most sweeping disclosed global breaches. The bank said the unknown attackers stole customers’ contact

information, which included names, email addresses, phone numbers and addresses, affected an amount

equivalent to two-thirds of American households.

A brief walk down memory lane of some the biggest recent cyber-attacks now include Adobe Systems,

Automated Data Processing, Citigroup, E*Trade Financial, Fidelity Investments, Home Depot, HSBC, Nasdaq

OMX, Neiman Marcus, Target and Wal-mart. It is not unlikely to consider that the information of every

American has already been compromised in any of these publicly disclosed attacks.

Renowned information security experts and innovative service providers will present at Cyber Security World

Conference 2014 their latest thinking to hundreds of senior executives focused on protecting enterprises and

governmental agencies. Topics that Cyber Security World Conference 2014 will discuss include:

Key Considerations about Security in the Internet of Things Age

Cyber Security Megatrends Security Professionals can’t Ignore Today

How Hackers Really Operate to Obtain Financial Data

Strengthening the Security of Industry-wide Technology Infrastructure

Cyber Security and its Role in the Overall Security of the United States

Designing and Managing Effective Information Security Programs

Cyber Security World Conference 2014 is produced by Golden Networking, the premier networking community

for business and technology executives, entrepreneurs and investors. Panelists, speakers and sponsors are invited
