Liberty Alliance, the global identity community working to build a more trust-worthy internet for consumers, governments and businesses worldwide, today announced highlights of the Wednesday, May 7 Privacy in Perspective webcast.

Zero Day Threat discusses the immediate and long-term security and privacy risks associated with online transactions, social networks and Web 2.0 technologies. The book outlines how the internet and Web 2.0 applications are opening new doors to focused and profit-minded e-crime groups driving a US$200 billion-a-year industry that revolves around stolen data. The webcast will examine the intense, but invisible activity on the cutting-edge of cyber-crime and suggest steps consumers and organizations can take to increase online security and privacy.

"The Privacy in Perspective series has been designed to help consumers and organizations become better educated about online privacy threats and to drive new understanding of the technology and policy initiatives available to help mitigate risks."
