The Open Government Directive mandates transparency, but for most agencies, security is of paramount importance. Is secure, open government an oxymoron, or is it possible to strike a balance and achieve transparency and collaboration while protecting sensitive information? This session will examine:
> How to balance the tension between transparency and privacy
> Setting reasonable parameters for exploring the potential of social networks, digital communities and online gaming while maintaining control over who shares what information with whom
> Awareness of and interaction with security settings and pitfalls on publicly-available social networks which are out of an agency’s control
