Discussing “InfoSec”
Mike Phillips, VSEC
“How many small or medium business can survive a $3.5 million hit? When small and medium business get hit, they typically go out of business. When the big ones get hit, know what they do? They change their names.”
If it is connected then it can be hacked, says Mike Phillips, a founding partner of VSEC, an information and cyber security firm. And there is a lot to be connected – by 2020 it is estimated some 50 billion devices will be on the web.
In this video from MarketsWiki Education’s Chicago event, Phillips talks about the state of information security (InfoSec), how he came to be a security professional, and what can be done to protect your information.

Gary DeWaal – Katten Muchin Rosenman
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good, and remember to apply ‘the grandma test.
When you are faced with a difficult decision, picture this: you’re sitting at Thanksgiving dinner, the family is gathered around the table, and grandma comes in holding a newspaper with your picture on it. If she is happy to read about your decision, it was probably a good decision. If not, it was probably the wrong decision.
Gary DeWaal knows regulation. He knows that good financial market regulation serves the public interest, and is neither overly prescriptive nor overly ambiguous. Good financial regulation addresses not only the state of the market structure, but also anticipates the future of the market and its participants.
He says that no regulation is perfect, but that the perfect should not be the enemy of the good. And as for those minor imperfections? Well, grandma is watching.
