February 27, 2008 - 6pm to 9pm.
Location: Pharmacy Building, U of T, Room B250, 144
College St., Toronto
 
Topic: Protecting Your Private Parts
Speaker: Tracy Ann Kosa

Overworked. Underpaid. And now you’re responsible for
privacy too. Get under the covers and find out why
this job is a lot easier then it sounds. The secret to
privacy design: once you’ve done it, you’re done it.
This session will provide you with compliance based
design requirements, and the teach you how to get
there yourself. The legislation hasn’t changed in
years, and though the technology evolves, the
architecture requirements for compliant privacy design
haven’t no matter who your clients are. Do privacy and
security make good bedfellows? You bet. And it’s
better then doing it alone.

Tracy Ann Kosa has 10 years of privacy experience
across Canada. Faculty at international programs on
privacy, her latest project was to co-author an
ontology in support of creating privacy compliant
specifications for software engineers.
