OpenDNS CEO David Ulevitch to Speak About Ethics in Technology and the Right Way to Treat Customers and their Information at UAT TechForum
Respected Industry Visionary to Speak to Tomorrow’s Technology Leaders About Corporate Responsibility to Customers
Nov 7, 2007 — SAN FRANCISCO -- OpenDNS, the award-winning DNS provider that makes the Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliable, today announced CEO David Ulevitch will speak to tomorrow's technology leaders at the UAT TechForum in Phoenix, Ariz. OpenDNS is the world’s largest, fastest-growing DNS service.
Who: David Ulevitch, founder and CEO of OpenDNS
What: Ulevitch will speak to students at the University of Advancing Technology (UAT) about the right and ethical way for businesses to treat customers. The relationship between customers and businesses is growing closer every day. With that close relationship comes a higher level of trust between both parties that is easily shattered when one party fails to deliver what is promised. And when safety and security—of personal information but also life and limb—are undone, who is responsible for that breach?
Among the scenarios Ulevitch will explore in this discussion: Should companies be treated as safekeepers of personal information even if they are unwilling to allow you to have access to those records? What if you find a vulnerability in a product and want to share that information with other consumers as well as the owner company? How do you go about doing this without allowing others to exploit the product? What if it's a multi-billion dollar goliath corporation widely considered exploitative of their clientele? Do you owe them anything?
When: Thursday, November 8 at 4 p.m. and Friday, November 9 at 1 p.m.
Where: The UAT TechForum, held on the UAT campus in Phoenix, Ariz.
