General Wesley Clark
"Cyber Security
Protecting Against Crimeware”
February 17, 2010
– Northland Inn Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
General Wesley Clark retired after 38 years in the United States
Army. He graduated first in his class at
West Point. He went on to attain degrees
in Philosophy, Political Science and Economics from Oxford University as a
Rhodes Scholar. In his last assignment
with the Army he was appointed Supreme Allied Commander Europe where he led
NATO forces to victory in "Operation Allied Force” saving 1.5 million Albanians
from ethnic cleansing. His military
awards include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Defense Distinguished Service
Medal, Bronze and Silver Stars, Purple Heart, Honorary Knighthoods from the
British and Dutch Governments, Commander of Legion of Honor from France and
numerous awards from other governments.
Currently
General Clark is CEO of Clark Bova Group, LLC, a strategic consulting firm,
Chairman of investment bank Rodman & Renshaw, Co-Chairman of Growth Energy,
Senior Fellow at UCLA’s Berkley Center for International Relations, Director of
International Crisis Group, and is a member of other corporate Boards of
Directors and Advisory Groups. Additionally,
General Clark authored three books.
His
expertise in the area of data security has been nurtured by an understanding of
the enormous political and economic impact that crime-ware and data breaches
have on the stability and viability of businesses and governments, both
domestic and international.
During
the first half of the program General Clark will:
I.
Highlight
the landscape and profile of the criminal elements around the world who view
mayhem of stealing PII and financial data as nothing more than a financially
rewarding enterprise.
II.
Discuss
the threat and impact of these criminal elements as it relates to the stability
and economic viability of business, governments and national security.
III.
Discuss
new and evolving technologies to make networks invisible to these criminal
entities and essential precautions that every organization should take to
reduce risk and help meet compliance requirements within their organization.
The
second half of the program will be a panel and open floor discussion moderated
by General Clark where guests and members will air their questions, concerns
and strategies employed to secure company data against breach.
