best practices for brand protection and the role technology plays in
that process.

“In this age of rampant cybercrime, identity theft and hardware hacking,
it’s time for government agencies, businesses and individuals to find
ways to come together and create innovative partnerships to help protect
digital data as a crucial top priority,” said Shegerian. “At this point,

constituents. It has been an honor to be asked to lead the discussion at
this vitally important conference and hear such enlightening insights
