Why attend

The Open Group's previous Conferences have explored Security and other Requirements for eBusiness and the theme of Trust and Confidence. It is clear that a more pro-active and methodical approach - Active Loss Prevention - is essential to the future growth of eBusiness, and to building trust and confidence in these systems.

This Active Loss Prevention Conference is the first opportunity to explore and work on the subject. CIOs, IT specialists and legal, audit and insurance professionals can learn more, get engaged, and influence the result.
