SEATTLE, WA, Jan 28, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
The Merchant Risk Council (MRC) today announced that cyber-terrorism
czar Richard Clarke will keynote its annual E-commerce Payments and
Risk Conference March 27 at the Aria Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. The
annual global event unites online and multi-channel retailers, card
networks, card issuers, law enforcement agencies and solution
providers to make the Internet a preferred place to shop and do
business.
"We are excited to have Mr. Clarke at this year's conference
discussing cyber war and the implications on E-commerce," said Tom
Donlea, MRC's managing director for the Americas. "His expert opinion
and timely and thought provoking comments will be invaluable for our
merchant members who manage risk reduction strategies at many leading
global companies."
The keynote address is sponsored by Digital River, providers of a
comprehensive payment and risk management solution, called Digital
River World Payments, which helps online businesses around the world
build and manage profitable payment programs. "The global E-commerce
industry is experiencing rapid development, and merchants must stay
updated about the latest trends and strategies," said Souheil Badran,
senior vice president and general manager of Digital River World
Payments. "It is important that we help create an open forum where
the merchant community can gather with industry experts to learn
about secure global online payments and risk management techniques."
Most widely known as a leading advocate for stronger cyber security,
Richard Clarke served the last three Presidents as a senior White
House Advisor. In his latest book, "Cyber War: The Next Threat to
National Security and What to Do About It," Clarke highlights the
need for greater collaboration between the private sector and
government in order to adequately secure our core infrastructure and
US commerce.
