9:30 - 10:15 | Information-Obfuscation (Masking Corporate Data-Assets) By Michael Jay Freer, President, TDWI South Florida
With Corporate Data breaches occurring at an every alarming rate, management at all levels are struggling with the length, width, and breathe of protecting their corporate data-assets. There is no shortage of options, firewalls, virus controls, access & authentication controls, separation of duties, multifactor authentication, data masking, remediation of “MS-Access Databases,” data encryption (in-flight and data-at-rest), secured emails, secured folders, disabling jump drives, limiting web access, etc., etc., etc.
For this presentation, the Information-Obfuscation framework includes access management, data masking, encryption of data-at-rest (DAR) and encryption data-in-transit including principles for protecting business communications.
We will explore defining a common data-masking language, defining standard masking business-rules, defining best practices for manipulating the data, and how to get started without attempting to “Boil-the-Ocean.” |

10:30 - 11:30 | DIY BI and Analytics: Reaping Rewards and Avoiding Chaos with Self-Service BI By Claudia Imhoff Ph.D., President and Founder, Intelligent Solutions, Inc.
As the velocity of business increases, business users are less willing to wait for the IT department to create custom reports and analytics. Many users now expect to be able to interact with information and create their own views of data to address pressing business issues. At the same time, BI teams would like to offload report and analytics creation duties to users and focus on more value-added activities. Fortunately, a new crop of self-service BI and analytics tools promises to empower users while liberating the BI team from ad hoc reporting tasks. To work, these tools must be easier to use than previous generations of BI tools, and give the BI team a measure of control over the semantic representation and use of back-end systems and oversight of the creation of standardized reports and dashboards for decision making. This session will describe business drivers behind self-service BI and analytics. Imhoff will discuss the tools, techniques, and technologies that leading-edge BI teams are deploying to improve users’ ability to create ad hoc reports and analytics. They will offer guidance for setting up governance practices to ensure that self-service BI and analytics deployments reach their objectives and don’t degenerate into chaos. |
11:30 - 11:45 | Networking Break |
11:45 - 12:00 | Closing Updates |
