Sun CIO Bob Worrall and Sun Chief Information Security Officer Mark Connelly discuss the emerging threats to enterprise security and how Sun responds

In case you missed the announcement last month, I'm Bob Worrall, the new CIO of Sun Microsystems and the new executive sponsor of the Sun Inner Circle newsletter. Over the coming months I hope to use my letter in this forum to offer insights into Sun's technology vision, as well as share my commentary on the latest industry developments.

When I assumed my responsibilities as CIO a few months ago, I woke up one morning, and scribbled all of my top concerns on a scrap of paper. At the top of that list — security. Ask any CIO about what keeps him or her up at night — or, in my case, what wakes me up in the morning — and they'll tell you it's enterprise security.

In order to judge Sun's understanding of the challenges and ability to respond, I promptly scheduled a meeting Sun Chief Information Security Officer Mark Connelly. I found my meeting with Mark so enlightening that I invited him to share his insights on enterprise security with you in this venue.
