The systems which defend our children against electronic abuse need to be every bit as "safety critical" as those which run our nuclear power stations or manage our airspace. When those systems work well, we should thank the design and project management skills which went into their development; when they fail, we need to know why. This event explores what child protection systems actually do, how they are specified, developed, and monitored, and where - if necessary - improvements to products and/or processes need to be made.
THE MASTERCLASS : John
Sluiter, CISSP (Senior Security Architect, Capgemini UK and Merlin Alliance) will start the ball
rolling by giving the software industry perspective on child
protection, explaining the general problem, and looking at the
strengths and limitations of firewalls and filters, especially in
this age of ever more sophisticated spyware. Jon Aston (Ingenuity (UK) Ltd) will then introduce
the Cyber Predator Internet and Email Activity Monitoring product, and explain how the requirements for this state-of-the-art system were captured and are kept up to date. Finally, Rob Cullen (Trafod)
will review the range of child protection risks and generally
explore questions relating to the ability of both industry and the
regulatory panels to manage with those risks. Funding concerns and
problems of fundamental strategy and definition (e.g. do computer
games deserve the same protections) will be raised as
appropriate.All are welcome - admission free but e-ticketed. Please submit ticket applications / proposed questions by e-mail to the Branch Secretary.
