I was fortunate enough to recently represent the
Authentication and Online Alliance (
AOTA) at their annual summit.
This year, Craig Newmark, the founder of
Craigslist, Michael Barrett, the Chief Security
Officer for PayPal, Tim Callan, Vice President
of Product Marketing at VeriSign, Peter Cullen,
General Manager and Chief Privacy Strategist at
Microsoft, Howard Schmidt, the former White
House Cyber Security Officer, Rob McKenna, the
Washington State Attorney General, and Hemanshu
Nigram, Chief Security Officer of MySpace, among
others, all spoke at the Summit. You can take a

Summit)
The summit was a two-day event full of lively
discussions on how and why we should make online
experiences as safe and secure as possible. Key
takeaways from the event; there’s no silver
bullet to making the Internet a safer place and it
takes more than just technology to ensure online
safety and security… it takes people power.
Seems I wasn’t the only person paying attention
to the summit. With at least 25 unique media
stories… you may have heard of it outside of
the VOXUS blog. Check out some of the links:
