Call for Speakers: CyberThieves in the Corporate Vaults

Seeking panelists from several disciplines to speak on digital 
intrusions and misappropriation of corporate secrets for the 
Connecticut Bar Association Annual Meeting.

Topic scenario:
* Loose collaborations of malware writers, "script kiddies" and 
professional criminals use common search tools and "social 
engineering" to find and exploit weak points in corporate security 
systems. 
* Disgruntled insiders and political activists collaborate to spread 
privileged and confidential corporate records and trade secrets 
through the world-wide peer-to-peer network before the owners know 
they are out. 
* Viruses, worms and other "malware" commandeer thousands of 
computers to swarm over and deny services to targeted corporation or 
government websites. 
* Others quietly infect computers, sniff out and steal private 
financial and identity data and passwords.

CyberThieves in the Corporate Vaults (working title) will address the 
legal issues and practical challenges of this environment, including: 
* What is the state of the law? 
* What changes are needed in user behavior, law enforcement and 
legislation? 
* What is the role and impact of the global community? 
* How to balance security with civil rights?

We seek panelists who are authorities in the following disciplines:
* Cyberlaw
* Criminal Law
* Forensic (Investigative) Security
* Intellectual Property Law
* Constitutional Law
* International Law
* Sociology and Organizational Dynamics
* Additional disciplines that you may suggest

The panel will be a presentation of the Technology Section of the 
Connecticut Bar Association, to be held at the CBA's Annual Meeting 
on Monday, June 7, 2004 in New Haven, Connecticut.

Potential panelists, please contact me with a brief description of 
your background in one or more of these disciplines, with links or 
citations to prior writings relevant to the topic. Please, no 
attachments by email.
