About the summit.
The Summit will be focusing on the proliferation of mobile devices (laptops,
Tablet PCs, Pocket PCs, UMPCs, Smartphone’s, media players, mass storage
devices and add-on cards) and the threats they present to the consumers/businesses
and the data that resides on them. We will provide the products and solutions
that will allow the management and control over these devices through the
endpoints. Live hands on demos will be available. There will be test/demo
systems configured and setup to facilitate the effective use of the information
and products being presented and demo’d. There will be mobile devices from
the industry vendors such as Palm, Motorola, HTC and more. We are all aware
of how these devices can be used to steal data/information off the target
system unbeknownst to the user.
The Summit will focus on 3 key areas of mobility and security.
1. The
Devices – A look at the mobile devices on the market today.
a. Laptops / Tablet PCs / Mini PCs / UPMCs
b. Smartphone’s - Motorola Q's, HP Smartphone’s, Samsung's Blackjack, Cell
phones
c. Apple’s iPhone
d. Pocket PCs - Palm Treo’s, HTC PPCs
e. Media Players – iPod's and more
f. Mass Storage Devices (USB Flash drives, Compact and SD cards, mobile
phone memory sticks, and more)
2. The
Threats – A look at the threats that affects these devices and how
they are targeted and attacked from internal and external sources.
a. Viruses/worms proliferation from devices to network to world.
b. Unauthorized connectivity to and from unscrupulous devices and sources.
c. The use of these devices for storing critical business data and
information.
d. Sharing data and information to and from the device through messaging
and wireless connectivity.
e. The availability of over the air messaging and other communications
tools and the problems they present.
f. Data loss/Theft of these devices and the business impact it presents.
g. Addressing the myths about over-the-air wiping of the device and why it
is not effective today. The device is still a threat if lost.
3. The
Protection – How to manage, protect and secure these devices from
the threats.
a. How to manage the devices on and off the network.
b. How to protect and secure your endpoints from these unauthorized
devices.
c. How to secure the devices against malicious codes (viruses, worms,
Trojans, keyloggers, hackers) with viral protection.
d. How to secure the data/information residing on the devices local store
and storage cards with data encryption.
e. What to do in the event of a device loss or theft – the incident
alert/response, damage control and alerting process.
f. How to make the over-the-air wiping feature effective and to mitigate
the loss of data if device is lost.
