Speaker:  Rocco Tarasi
Managing Director – policyIQ
Resources Global Professionals
1670 One PPG Place I Pittsburgh, PA 15222
Phone: 412.263.3330

About Rocco...

Mr. Tarasi became a Managing Director of Resources Global Professionals in July 2003 when Resources acquired his previous company, Snap River Technologies. Since 2000, Mr. Tarasi had been the founder and President of Snap River, a software development and consulting firm providing innovative solutions for policy, procedure, and internal control management. As a Managing Director with Resources, he maintains responsibility for managing the company's policyIQ® product line, maintaining its customer relationships, and coordinating related consulting engagements.

Mr. Tarasi spent the majority of his career at Arthur Andersen LLP in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was previously a Manager in the Assurance practice responsible for both internal and external audit engagements. He managed companies in a broad range of industries and was responsible for the largest international clients in the office. He also managed a number of initial and secondary public offerings and M&A transactions.

Mr. Tarasi recognized the difficulty companies faced in managing all of their policy and procedure documentation, not just in Accounting and Finance but in other departments like Human Resources, Operations, and Information Technology. When he founded Snap River, there was no recognized methodology or process for managing this documentation, and no software application designed specifically for this purpose. He developed the Policy Management Process, which established a methodology for companies to follow in managing their documentation, and then authored the Effective Policy Management Best Practice, a practical list of best practice steps that was published in the Journal of Accountancy in 2002.

The Effective Policy Management Best Practice provided the basis for designing policyIQ®, a web-based software application for policy and procedure management that follows and automates many of the best practice steps. policyIQ® was released in 2002 and is now used by public companies for compliance with sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and by both public and private companies as an authoring tool and central repository for all of their policies and procedures.

Mr. Tarasi was also previously the Chief Financial Officer of a start-up technology company and an Investment Banker. He is a Certified Public Accountant and has been a speaker at dozens of seminars and training sessions on subjects including entrepreneurship, policy and procedure management, internal controls, risk assessments, and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. He graduated Cum Laude from the Wharton School of Business, University of Pennsylvania.

Mr. Tarasi can be contacted at rocco.tarasi@resources-us.com for any questions about internal controls, policies and procedures, or to schedule a one-hour online demo of policyIQ®. The Effective Policy Management White Paper and other related information can be found at www.policyiq.com or www.resourcesglobal.com.

Keith Fowler has been Manager of IT Security for LG&E Energy for approximately four years. Previously he held positions in the IT Operations area, including Manager of IT Production, and technical support roles in the networking and distributed systems support areas. Prior to joining the Information Technology department, Keith spent 15 years in the Power Generation Engineering and Administration area of LG&E, where he provided development and support for distributed control systems and developed compliance monitoring tools for the environmental and production support areas

Keith has extensive experience in networking, operating systems, and security. He has in-depth knowledge of intrusion detection and prevention; hacker techniques and exploits; system forensics and investigations; and auditing networks, perimeters, and firewalls.

Topic: Perimeter Security

Protecting your company's network perimeter has never been a bigger challenge. In fact, some would argue that the concept of the perimeter itself is obsolete. Prior to five or so years ago, the boundary of most enterprise networks was well defined and usually could be drawn at the border connection to the outside world. Today, with the preponderance of B2B connections, mobile clients, remote access, customer access to applications (B2C), and multiple security zones, coupled with many threat vectors, the perimeter is complex and difficult to get our arms around. This session will focus on the evolution of the perimeter, basic architectural suggestions for ensuring protection of our networks, firewall auditing techniques, and other security best-practices.
