Speakers' Bios:

Anton Aylward, was pioneering security long before information was recognized as an asset by regulatory requirements. This has given him a perspective developed over 20 years on the psychological (sociological? cultural?) transitions necessary within organizations to make security an effective and integral element of business procedures and policies. It has also given him the experiential knowledge to provide the contextual insight necessary to make sense of the regulatory frameworks, the business drivers, the product vendors, and how they inter-relate in the security landscape today. He graduated in Electronics from the University of Kent, with subsequent management training from Marconi Electronics. His professional designations include CISSP, and CISA certifications. He has done extensive work in implementing COBIT and other leading information security frameworks in organizations including Bank of Montreal, Rogers, Government of Ontario, MacDonalds Canada, ING Direct and others.
