Liquid Machines' Ed Gaudet Delivers Strategies for Secure Information Sharing at Institute of Internal Auditors’ Risk & Control Conference 2007

Conference Will Focus on Managing Governance, Risk and Compliance in Auditing

San Diego, CA - August 20, 2007

Liquid Machines, Inc., the leader in Enterprise Rights Management (ERM) solutions, today announced that Ed Gaudet, vice president of product management and marketing, will be speaking at the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Risk & Control Conference taking place on August 20-22, 2007 in San Diego, California.

At the conference, Gaudet will present the session:

“Can We Share That? Strategies to Collaborate in a Secure Environment,” taking place on Monday, August 20, 2007 from 3:50 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. PDT under the CS4-4 track.

"Cross-domain collaboration significantly increases the risk of losing a company's intellectual property,” Gaudet said. “"Consequently, risk managers, auditors and compliance must lead the implementation of new approaches to protecting information that enable the business to collaborate and share electronic information securely."

In his session, Gaudet will discuss the differences between perimeter protection and information lifecycle protection and how putting security with the data can allow unhindered collaboration, regardless of whether it is located inside or outside the network. Gaudet will also highlight how new technologies can improve the way organizations control risk, securely distribute data, audit its usage and comply with regulatory requirements.

The 2007 IIA Risk & Control Conference will examine the critical fine line executives must walk to manage auditing and compliance risk. The conference will take place at the Manchester Grand Hyatt at One Market Place, San Diego.
