After the alarming gap in one of the Internet's key security methods *Heartbleed* was announced, even organizations that have taken precautions find themselves exposed to risk. Important data such as customer credit card numbers, home addresses, website passwords, and even health records are at stake. A large percentage of organizations have never had a true security audit. How do CEOs, CTOs, Product and Data Managers know if their proprietary and customer data is secure or not? What are risks with 3rd party payment systems? What to do if you have a shared SSL? What is protocol for employees using their own devices? Do you need to share cyber breaches with authorities or not?
These critical and urgent questions will be answered by experts at the upcoming GOV20LA conference including:
Who:
•Bob Gourley: Former Chief Technology Officer, US Defense Intelligence Agency, technology and enterprise evangelist
•Jeanne Holme: Chief Evangelist USA, Data.Gov; Chief Software Architect, NASA
•Jamie Clarke: Practicing lawyer dealing with tech issues, OASIS General Counsel (Privacy, Open ID Standards)

GOV20LA, an intimate and powerful conference brings together innovative leaders at the intersection of government, tech, and businesses from around the world in an apolitical setting. Every year, the conference covers breaking topics affecting citizens at large with leaders delivering insights into current gov tech issues and cutting-edge technology in an open town hall format such as the Darknet presentation by General Manager of Intel Cloud Services Peter Biddle and the Award-winning Social Media efforts of NASA JPL's Mars Rover delivered by Veronica McGregor and Stephanie L. Smith at the 2013 event.
After 20 years of experience at the intersection of government and tech, GOV20LA Founder, Alan W. Silberberg says, "My intention has always been to connect the innovative leaders I meet around the world together to share the truly amazing initiatives they are leading within their organizations. I have seen how Countries, States, and localities have instituted changes that were initiated at or following each GOV20LA event and this year is shaping up to be the strongest year in our five year history."
