ABOUT CYBERSECURITY BOARDROOM WORKSHOP 2015
As cyber attacks become more common, companies are increasingly investing in cyber security protections. But
even with the best systems in place, hackers can still easily break into a company's network if workers aren't also
being diligent about security. Cyber criminals have gotten much better at disguising malicious email to make it look
more legitimate. So employees need to be vigilant and ask questions about all of the email they receive that raises
even the slightest suspicion, which is most likely not what happened at some of the high-profile cyber security
breaches that have been in the headlines recently: Adobe, ADP, E*Trade, Fidelity, Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase,
Nasdaq, Neiman Marcus, Sony, Target and Wal-mart.
Cybersecurity Boardroom Workshop 2015 (http://www.cybersecurityboardroomworkshop.com), How Boards of
Directors and CXOs Can Build the Proper Foundation to Address Today's Information Security Challenges, is a
must-attend forum for board members, CEOs, CFOs, COOs and executive managers in New York City, London,
Dubai, Bangkok, Jakarta, Sydney, Taipei, Seoul and Tokyo who need to become more educated about cyber
security in order to ask questions that are strategic yet granular enough to address company specifics.

readiness is a relatively new yet critically important area to be intelligently conversant about:

ultimately being ignominiously bought up by a competitor.
ABOUT THE SPEED TRADERS
High-frequency traders have been called many things-from masters of the universe and market pioneers to
exploiters, computer geeks, and even predators. Everyone in the business of investing has an opinion of speed
traders, but how many really understand how they operate? The shadow people of the investing world, today's
high-frequency traders have decidedly kept a low profile-until now. In this new title, The Speed Traders, Mr. Perez
opens the door to the secretive world of high-frequency trading (HFT). Inside, prominent figures of HFT drop their
guard and speak with unprecedented candidness about their trade.
Mr. Perez begins with an overview of computerized trading, which formally began on February 8, 1971, when
NASDAQ launched the world's first electronic market with 2,500 over-the-counter stocks and which has evolved
into the present-day practice of making multiple trades in a matter of microseconds. He then picks the brains of
today's top players. Manoj Narang (Tradeworx), John Netto (M3 Capital), and Aaron Lebovitz (Infinium Capital
Management) are just a few of the luminaries who decided to break their silence and speak openly to Mr. Perez.
Virtually all of the expertise available from the world of speed trading is packed into these pages.
The Speed Traders, published by McGraw-Hill Inc., is the most comprehensive, revealing work available on the
most important development in trading in generations. High-frequency trading will no doubt play an ever larger role
as computer technology advances and the global exchanges embrace fast electronic access. The Speed Traders
explains everything there is to know about how today's high-frequency traders make millions-one cent at a time.
