Technology Management Seminar:
Protecting the World From Cybercrime
with Dr. Neil Daswani (EN ‘96)
Googleplex, Mountain View
Wednesday, August 27, 2008
The Columbia Alumni Association, the Columbia Alumni Club of Northern California,
the Columbia Engineering School Alumni Association, and Google cordially invite you to a special talk with Neil Daswani (EN'96).
Since 2005, over 230 million customer records have been lost or stolen in security breaches, and data
breaches are at an all-time high in large part due to increased reliance on electronically stored files. Should
you be concerned about the security of your personal information on the Internet and with the issue of online
fraud? Do you wonder what could be done to help secure the web and our cyber-infrastructure? Come hear
compelling stories about some of the most significant cyber-attacks over the past few years and what can be
done to protect the world against rampant cybercrime and mass identify theft.
Anyone interested in the topic of Internet security and identity theft, including software engineers and
developers who want to help solve the problem, are welcome to attend this free event! Drinks and hors
d’oeuvres will be served.
Dr. Neil Daswani is currently a Product Manager at Google and has served in a variety of research,
development, teaching, and managerial roles at Google, NTT DoCoMo USA Labs, Stanford University, Yodlee,
and Telcordia Technologies (formerly Bellcore).
