Enabling Efficiency between Government, Business and the Citizen: Managing
Secure Interactions in Sector Applications
The third annual OASIS Adoption Forum seeks to educate and expose security
leaders and professionals to the tools, standards and implementations that
are transforming security interactions and relationships between citizens,
businesses, governmental institutions and agencies. With increasing threats
encompassing everything from hacking to identity theft,
providing a secure environment must be a major objective for companies,
governments, and organizations worldwide. The success you enjoy tomorrow
depends on the security decisions you make today. This is an exclusive
opportunity to take part in an event that will examine security from various
business perspectives.
Hosted by the OASIS open standards consortium, the
Adoption Forum will bring together both visionaries and implementers to
examine new approaches and developing technologies as well as actual case
studies within the aerospace, financial, logistics, health, insurance, and
other aspects of e-government.
