Six Things to Ask About Data Governance
Steven Adler
Program Director
IBM Data Governance Solutions
Put
simply, data governance is managing data as an enterprise asset
and controlling operational risk. It means safeguarding corporate
information, keeping auditors and regulators satisfied, and using
improved data quality to retain customers and drive new business
opportunities.
We
will discuss six questions that every company should ask themselves
to identify Data Governance issues:
·
Do you have a Governor?
· Have you surveyed your situation?
· Do you have a strategy?
· Have you calculated the value of your data?
· Do you know the probability of your risk?
· Are you monitoring the efficacy of your controls?
This
presentation will explore these issues and provide functional examples
of how to implement successful Data Governance programs and best
practices.
Data
Governance-From a Hacker's Perspective
Johnny
Long
Professional Hacker and Security Researcher
CSC
Hackers use technology when working, but they don't necessarily
have to. No-tech hacking reveals the surprising ways security systems
can be bypassed without any technical knowledge. We'll discuss what
an adversary sees, what an adversary looks like, what hackers see,
no-tech physical security, and Google hacks, all of which can comprise
your identity and security.
Information
Governance and Stewardship:
Implementing Authority and Accountability for Information
Larry P. English
President
Information Impact International, Inc.
Information Governance is not an add-on layer of management for
information in an organization. It is part of the natural business
management of the enterprise. However, most organizations have conducted
"information governance" in a vacuum with decisions made
by default without clearly understanding the principles of management
applied to information.
To effect information management and information quality management,
accountability for information must be established in a way similar
to accountability for financial and human resources. To effectively
manage information there must be authorities, policies and procedures
to enable effective governance of information.
Mr. English describes a "natural" governance approach
to information along with the seven business roles of information
stewardship. He describes why it is required for organizational
effectiveness in the emerging "realized" Information Age.
He dispels many misconceptions about Information Stewardship and
describes key "lessons learned." Addressed are:
· "Natural" Information Governance
· "Natural" Information Stewardship Roles
· Information Stewardship Relationships
· Information Stewardship and Value-Centric Information and
Systems Engineering
· An Effective Governance Model for Information Stewardship
and Quality
· Critical Success Factors for Effective Information Stewardship
and Governance
What
Business Managers Want
Graeme Simsion
President
Simsion and Associates
If you already have all the support you need from business and IT
management, and are confident that will continue as long as it's
needed, then this session may not be for you. But most data management
veterans would observe that lack of management support is the single
most common reason for the failure of data management initiatives
of any kind. Conversely, if managers are truly on board, almost
anything is possible.
Graeme Simsion will talk about "getting inside managers' heads"
to understand what they want, as the first and most crucial step
in winning their support. How would he know? In addition to his
long association with data management, including two books on data
modeling and seven DAMA conference keynotes, Graeme ran his own
consultancy business for 20 years, employing some 70 staff, and
worked as a business strategy consultant, regularly facilitating
sessions with CEOs and senior managers of medium and large organizations
in both the government and private sectors. His "consulting
skills" workshop, based on these experiences, has been voted
"best presentation" at three successive DAMA conferences.
