Content Wars
This presentation will focus on the issue of "content wars", which refers to the battle for consumers and market share through the content proposition of online industries. More specifically the presentation will examine a host of legal issues including: content farms that manipulate search results, recycled, stolen or re-dated content all in the name of better search result placements. The presentation also explores the lack of cohesion between technology and the law in this context. Case studies will be used to highlight market trends as well as legal complexities arising from the phenomenon of content wars. The South African legislative landscape applicable to information and communication technologies will be reviewed to examine whether it is able to effectively regulate this arena. |

11:00-11:30 |
The Changing Dynamics of Cloud based Computing Guest speaker: Andy Brauer - Business Connexion

11:30-12:00 |
Privacy and Information Security – Is it supposed to be an integral part of you GRC Framework? Guest speaker: Peet Smith - Risk Mitigation Solutions Africa Peet is the Managing Director of RMS Africa, a consulting firm specialising in GRC solutions. He also holds directorships with Information Security Group Africa, a community based section 21 company, and ISG Ventures.
Governance Risk and Compliance is typically thought of in terms of adhering to particular compliance frameworks. But where and how does Privacy and Information Security fit into these frameworks? Although the technological correlation between security controls and privacy requirements are well defined, privacy related problems are also as much political and public policy issues as they are legal. Can good governance be unhinged from the law? |
