Title
Breakout A: Panel: Latest developments in privacy and security technology

Abstract
With the explosion of the Internet and a tremendous growth of information systems technology, businesses everywhere are collecting tremendous amounts of information about their users. Knowing the habits of Web visitors, what they like, how they browse, who they are, and their demographic information enables companies to target advertising and tailor screen views for individual visitors based on each visitor's past patterns, personal habits, and personal preferences. At no time like the present, and inevitably the future, have individual privacy concerns been of greater importance. The success of e-Business and e-Commerce enterprises will undoubtedly be determined by how they address these privacy issues and how far they go beyond adhering to emerging privacy legislation.

This presentation provides an overview on how privacy differs from information security and then goes on to look at what technology IBM and Tivoli are developing and implementing for customers to meet these privacy challenges. The presentation considers some of the technical challenges faced in setting out to develop technology tools that address privacy concerns with respect to government legislation and corporate privacy policies.
