Helping Create Safe Communities & Neighbourhoods

By: Steve Woolrich

Another great “portal for discovery”, a non-profit organization making a difference.  I have been a member of SPIE for several years and have attended a number of their conferences. This group is made up of various security professionals, most of them specializing in what is commonly referred to as IT Security. For many of us, especially businesses, we underestimate the protection of our information assets. Its pretty easy to put a value on physical assets but try protecting a computer network with private and/or confidential information.  How can you put a price on trade secrets that may be stolen or personal data?

SPIE meets on a regular basis in Calgary and always welcomes new members to join their cause. It really is another great example of how information sharing and working together can make a difference in your community. In this case, it’s cyberspace so you can imagine the preventative measures that are necessary in their world.
