Anish Bhimani, managing director and chief information risk officer with JPMorgan Chase & Co., will kick off the HUB 2010 Fall Speaker Series on Wednesday, Sept. 15. The event is co-sponsored by the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science and CASE, as part of the EECS/CASE Colloquium.
Bhimani’s presentation, “Trends and Concerns in Enterprise Information Security,” will begin at 1 p.m. in room 4-201 of the Center for Science and Technology and is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
The landscape of technology in corporate environments is dramatically changing. While new technologies create exciting opportunities for organizations that embrace them, those same organizations are faced with an exponentially growing list of threats, both externally and internally. Bhimani will speak about the major trends in information security in 2010 and 2011, and how one company is evolving its traditional approaches to information security to address this changing threat. His presentation will also explore some of the emerging technology trends, such as virtualization, smart phones and cloud computing, and how they are changing the way companies look at information security.
Bhimani is managing director and chief information risk officer for JPMorgan Chase. In this role, he has global responsibility for ensuring the security and resiliency of the firm’s computing environment, and supports the firm’s corporate risk management program. He also participates in the firm’s technology governance board.
He was selected as Information Security Executive of the Year for 2008 by the Executive Alliance, and named to Bank Technology News’ Top Innovators of 2008 list for his novel approach to information risk management.
Prior to joining the firm in 2003, Bhimani served as a senior member of the Enterprise Resilience practice in Booz Allen Hamilton, helping Fortune 100 companies improve the resiliency of their infrastructure. Prior to that, Bhimani served as senior vice president and chief technology officer of Global Integrity Corporation (an SAIC company) and Predictive Systems. During his tenure at Global Integrity, he also led the team that developed the Financial Services ISAC.
