EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

Today Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim warned businesses that he does not intend to go easy on them when his office gains new regulatory powers in March.

All the more reason, then, to make sure you are across the changes before they take effect.

iTnews and Secure Computing intend to produce a guide to navigating the revised Privacy Act before the end of the year and we will be holding a workshop in Sydney during early December to recommend how IT policies and systems need be overhauled to comply with the amendments.

We welcome CSOs and privacy/InfoSec professionals interested in participating to register here.

CIOs and IT managers that wish to engage with this expert panel over a roundtable lunch late in the day to register here.

Click here if you cannot attend but would like a copy of the report/recommendations.
