Panel 2: Emerging Social Media & Transparency Gap
Social Networks and blogs beat other online activity, including personal email, to become the 4th most popular online activity, and 67% of the global online population visits social networking communities regularly (Nielsen Online, March 2009). What threats do social media portals introduce into the IT infrastructure? Can our advertisers at home and abroad leverage social media in an asymmetrical way against us?

Panel 8: Information/Intelligence Sharing - Balancing Privacy
The need for information in a post-911 world cannot be overstated. In order to stay competitive, there is a need to share between civilian and national security agencies, as well as the Department of Homeland Security, between federal and state and local government and even sometimes between governmental and commercial organizations. The right people need the right information at the right time to advance national security initiatives. This reality requires a different approach to ensure that the requirements for openness and transparency and the needs for personal privacy of that same information are balanced. The representatives on this panel are from agencies with diverse missions and unique lines of business. They will discuss their successes, challenges, risks and change management necessary to balance information & intelligence sharing with privacy while optimizing their capabilities to share critical information
