Unisys/EMC Global Security Summit Unisys/EMC Global Security Summit “Evolution of Security – What will concern us in 2015” A Best Practices Thought Leadership Seminar PROGRAMME 24 June 2010 Unisys International Management Centre - UIMC Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France Programme for “Unisys/EMC Global Security Summit” Seminar Summary The converging threats facing enterprises today come in all forms, from physical and cyber attacks to personal false identification and data fraud. Business leaders in this increasingly connected world are being challenged like never before to find innovative ways to cut operational costs while simultaneously delivering higher ROI on investments that protect their employees, customers, infrastructure, networks, data and other critical assets. The purpose of this one-day event is to enable and facilitate the sharing of proven “best practices” for integrated security solution strategies and implementations. In a beautiful world-class conference center, this seminar will bring together approximately 50 C-level executives from global public and private sector organizations that depend on Unisys and/or EMC as their security technology partners. The ten speakers will be customers providing real-world case studies and industry thought leaders providing insights into the future of security technology. All in all, a highly-interactive educational forum that you will not want to miss. Integrated Security Solutions for Today and Tomorrow You are only as secure as your weakest link and getting security right has become increasingly complex. In this complex world of accelerating change getting it right and cutting costs has to be about taking a holistic approach that pulls together all the elements of physical, employee, customer and IT security into a tightly integrated and managed process. An effective security solution for today and tomorrow has to help save money, save and protect life, protect and preserve property, safeguard and assure the integrity of vital evidence whilst always enabling swift recovery from an event if, unfortunately, it still happens. Getting it right means that security must be viewed as a whole, ensuring every aspect is covered and that it is integrated with all other business processes with the flexibility to adapt to business change. If that assurance is in place, security is an enabler that drives revenue and margin and allows for predictable, secure services and reduction in the cost of compliance. Programme for “Unisys/EMC Global Security Summit” Make plans to attend this inaugural event. Just as the fall of the Roman Empire caused the shattering of the somewhat fragile economic and demographic equilibrium in the beautiful area of South France, our times today are causing feelings of insecurity. As a response to their overall feelings of insecurity, the peasants of long ago drew closer together and the “perched villages” such as the magnificent St. Paul de Vence started to appear. Let’s draw closer to take a closer look at creating a secure operation and a secure world.

The world we live in is becoming progressively more interconnected with a myriad more challenges and threats as well as benefits. The "West" has not been faced with the sort of cataclysmic war seen in the 20th Century for over 60 years. However, increasing instability is going to fuel localised problems that will have a global reach. From insurgency to terrorism to organized crime, not just nations but everyone in a joined up society is affected individually as well as collectively today and for the foreseeable future. The Keynote speaker will layout his expectations for what a safe and secure society can expect in the next few years." Lord Toby Harris of Haringey 9:30 – 9:45 Q&A Programme for “Unisys/EMC Global Security Summit” 9:45 – 11:30 Terrorism, Law Enforcement and the Legal Environment This first session will deal with the criminal and terrorist threats, as well as the legal "threats", faced by the information infrastructure dependent society and what to be aware of over the next few years.

  • Conflicts of Interest in the Syria Debate
    Conflicts of interest in the Syria debate An analysis of the defense industry ties of experts and think tanks who commented on military intervention October 2013 About the Public Accountability Initiative The Public Accountability Initiative (PAI) is a non-profit, non-partisan research and educational organization focused on corporate and government accountability. In addition to publishing research on critical public accountability issues, PAI maintains LittleSis.org, an involuntary facebook of powerful people and tool for power research that was used to compile data for this report. PAI’s work is funded by a variety of non-profit sources (all funding sources are listed at http://public- accountability.org/about/funding). This report was authored by PAI research analysts Gin Armstrong and Whitney Yax, and PAI director Kevin Connor. Introduction During the public debate around the question of whether to attack Syria, Stephen Hadley, former national security adviser to George W. Bush, made a series of high-profile media appearances. Hadley argued strenuously for military intervention in appearances on CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, and Bloomberg TV, and authored a Washington Post op-ed headlined "To stop Iran, Obama must enforce red lines with Assad." In each case, Hadley's audience was not informed that he serves as a director of Raytheon, the weapons manufacturer that makes the Tomahawk cruise missiles that were widely cited as a weapon of choice in a potential strike against Syria. Hadley earns $128,500 in annual cash compensation from the company and chairs its public affairs committee. He also owns 11,477 shares of Raytheon stock, which traded at all-time highs during the Syria debate ($77.65 on August 23, making Hadley’s share’s worth $891,189).

ABSTRACT What makes an act of violence an act of terrorism? This qualitative study examines the ways in which three U.S.-based cable news networks—MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News—reported and contextualized four violent events within frameworks of terrorism: the mass shooting at Ft. Hood near Killeen, Texas (2009); the mass shooting near Tucson, Arizona (2011); a suicidal plane crash into an IRS building in Austin, Texas (2010); and the attempted bombing of the Federal Reserve in New York, New York (2012). Although details between these four events seem analogous, the three networks appeared to contextualize only the Ft. Hood rampage and the Federal Reserve plot within frameworks of terrorism (specifically, Islamic terrorism)—as being “attacks” on the United States rather than isolated incidents. In contrast, the networks appeared to contextualize the Tucson rampage and Austin plane crash as being the consequences of extreme mental illness.
