Colin Robbins, Nexor’s CTO, will present “Identity Federation in Government – An Opportunity for Privacy Enhancement” on 26th June 2009 at the eema eIdentity conference. Colin will discuss the importance of achieving the right people-technology balance to address the challenge of data loss prevention.

Technology alone cannot solve the problem; people must be trained, motivated and supported to adhere to policies. The presentation will refer to innovative new psychological research findings, which Nexor has sponsored. For further details go to www.revolutionevents.plus.com/eema/index.htm.

In many of the recent high-profile cases of sensitive data loss from government, it appears that the human element is at fault, not the technological solutions. Nexor has been working with cyber psychology researchers at Nottingham Trent University, looking at the factors that influence human behaviour towards security. Read Andrew Kays’ (Nexor’s Head of Development) published article in the Security Zone of Computer Weekly for more insight into this topic.

Nexor is pleased to join Sophos’ integration partner network. As a world leader in enterprise IT security and control, Sophos is the natural choice of anti-malware technology to integrate with Nexor’s high assurance gateway and guard products.
