Seminar Details
Much is written and speculated around the increasing risks to the business, such as the adoption of the latest smart devices, but turning the debate on its head - Can mobile devices actually be used to improve security? Could they, for example, be used for improved authentication? There is currently less mobile malware around than that to the standard PC, and although this will inevitably change with time, the security controls available to use with smart devices, such as encryption can offer some protection - However, the fundamental question we all need to be asking is: Are smart devices secure enough for what they are currently being used for? Do the benefits to the business outweigh the risks and ultimately, how do you turn their use to your business advantage?
The session speakers will all put their arguments for and against improved security through mobile devices in what will surely prove to be a lively debate!.
