Jeffrey Ritter

Jeffrey Ritter has a different view on how things work. His career is devoted to figuring out how--as this generation of interdependent, always-on global computing arrives--we will develop and maintain trust in the information assets of society.

Across a career of academic research, diplomatic leadership, legal services and standards development, Jeffrey has gained a coherent understanding of the calculus of trust, taking account of the complex interactions between systems, rules, economics and subjective human judgment. He has held substantive roles with the UN Economic Commission for Europe and the American Bar Association in advancing Internet law reform, and is actively engaged in the work of the Information Systems Security Association and the Internet Security Alliance.

Through Waters Edge Consulting, Jeffrey challenges how we think of, and measure the performance of, governance, compliance and process management within any enterprise, and how to re-think using information security controls for broader business functions. As a speaker, workshop leader and facilitator, he is consistently viewed as “outstanding”, “worth the price of the conference” and “provocative”.
