Duration: 60 minutes
Description:
The proliferation of removable media and portable
devices-including PDAs, MP3 players and USB memory sticks-in the
enterprise creates a dilemma for IT security administrators. Even
though many devices are valuable business tools, they also present
new security challenges-including data leakage and introduction of
malware-that could jeopardise the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of sensitive corporate information.
Today's devices have a tremendous amount of storage capacity. An
intruder, a disgruntled employee or anyone else can easily download
large quantities of company information onto a device and walk
right out the front door.
In addition, many devices are now capable of launching
applications and, as a result, "mobile malware" has emerged as a
security threat. For example, late in 2006, Apple unknowingly
shipped a very small fraction of video iPods that were infected
with a virus that could have left Windows users vulnerable.
Similarly, around the same time, McDonald's Japan recalled
promotional MP3 players after learning that they had been
inadvertently loaded with a spyware Trojan that, when downloaded
onto a PC or laptop, could potentially have been used to pilfer
proprietary corporate data.
This Webinar will:
- Highlight the current IT security threat landscape
- Examine the security challenges posed by portable storage
media
- Outline the steps organisations can take to neutralise the
threat and show how to derive true value to the business from
them
Format:
5 minute introduction followed by three 10-minute presentations
plus a 25/30- minute moderated Q&A session. Interactive polling
of the audience will be carried out throughout the event.
