Join us for our opening Keynote's one-two punch, when Lorrie Cranor, Chief Technologist at the Federal Trade Commission, starts the conference off with the "why"of why we need to start training our clients and end users to reevaluate their thinking on mandatory password changes. Immediately following Lorrie's timely message, Michael Kaiser, Executive Director of Staysafeonline.org and Chief Executive of the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) gives us the "how", providing us with ways and means to effectively get the word out to the masses and make sure the change starts here and now.
