I encourage you to obtain a copy of the Financial Post Business April 2006 magazine on news stands ONLY on April 7, 2006 as an insert in the National Post newspaper.

For the article on IT security threats, Microsoft security expert Derek Wong provides his valued insights. Derek will also be speaking about the top 10 security threats at INFORMATICS 2006 held in Victoria May 28^th to 30^th.

CIPS has partnered with the National Post in the creation of a special technology section to appear in the April 2006 issue of the Financial Post Business magazine (to hit the streets ONLY on April 7 as an insert of the National Post newspaper).  This special technology section will include the following:

• a profile of leading CIOs, focusing on their challenges, vision and what they need from their suppliers (ENMAX CTO and former CIPS President Kevin Brown I.S.P. is one of the CIOs being profiled.  CIO of Canada Jim Alexander is another CIO being profiled.);
• an article identifying the leading Information Technology (IT) security threats and how to avoid them (Among the security experts being quoted: Dr. Tom Keenan I.S.P. Tom is a former CIPS Certification Council member and a speaker at this year's CIPS INFORMATICS 2006 event in Victoria; and
• an article on the rising importance of IT governance (The CIOs who participated in the CIPS/RIS/Brown Governance CIO Roundtable held last November in Toronto have been quoted.  Allstream VP of IT and former CIPS Nova Scotia President Andrew Morrisey I.S.P. has also been quoted.).

As part of the partnership between CIPS and the National Post, CIPS has a feature page with an I.S.P. and an INFORMATICS 2006 sidebar.

The CIPS page contains the article, "IT Governance: An Opportunity or Hindrance?" by CIPS VP John Boufford I.S.P.

The Financial Post (FP) Business magazine reaches over 1.2 million readers each month.
