Call For Papers - CFP

This session will provide an organized presentation of the recognized mobile vulnerabilities, the difference in severity among the various mobile operating systems, and describes the protections that are available and assesses their efficacy.

Why should you attend: IT organizations are being called upon to support a wider range of mobile devices, many of which lack the basic mechanisms required to adequately secure corporate information stored on them. Further, many organizations have not invested in mobile device management (MDM) systems that would allow the company to ensure basic security practices are being used on those devices or provide the ability to wipe the corporate information if the device is lost or stolen. If your organizations has moved beyond BlackBerry and is currently supporting iOS, Android, or other smartphone platforms, either company-provided or personally-owned, you need to understand what is at stake and how to best protect your organization.
