He would also focus on budgets. "I don't think IT departments are getting as much budget as they should be," said Calce. "I think they are putting too much into marketing rather than security, when security is the biggest factor today. Cybercrime is now the biggest industry in the world, so I think people need to step back and realize that."

Calce's future plans include speaking to younger generations.

"The fact of the matter is, when you're behind the computer, it's not like punching a kid in the face where you can see his reaction or get that sense of emotion from him. You don't get that same morality because you're behind the computer. You're launching packets from one computer to another, it's not a bodily harm crime, so it's very hard to get the sense that what you are doing is wrong when you are at that age," he said.

The IT360 Conference & Expo will take place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on April 8, 2009. Michael Calce's keynote with Craig Silverman is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.
