12.40 PM | Practical Ways for an SME to Become World Class.
Many claim World Class status. But how many people think deeply about this? While there needs to be new tools and technology, it is also suicide for most SME's to take the exact same path as multinational corporations. This paper will explore the pros and cons of different ways that SME's seek to grow their capability and international image. We will explore the benefits and the dangers of certification, and offer alternative paths for discussion. The presenter will compare his experiences of working in large corporations with that of running his own small company, and share lessons learned along the way.

3.45 PM | Info-security: Protection from the Unknown
Many organisations, especially Small Medium Enterprises, fail to implement adequate, secure IT security measures, thus leaving sensitive information in their network wide open to cyber criminals and security breaches. It's time SMEs move out of their comfort zone, especially when the number of malicious programmes is predicted to exceed 20 million. Your computer system may inform you that everything is in working order, but malwares such as Trojans, Worms and spyware disguised as legitimate data traffic could just be lurking in the background, waiting for the smallest window of opportunity to attack and cause millions of dollars worth of damage.
