There are many reasons state governments take a positive view when enabling mobility for state employees and constituents.  Whether it’s providing more access to government services for citizens, or developing more cost-effective business processes and service models, or capitalizing on the myriad third-party providers providing mobile services, or simply eliminating paper, the benefits of providing a modern, mobile-enabled environment are substantial.  But so are the challenges.  Privacy and confidentiality present key challenges.  So do the special considerations for first responders in public safety and emergencies.  Join us as we explore the variety of unique challenges government faces when enabling a secure mobile environment.

 

 

Mobile apps are the hottest thing in IT these days.  They’ve rapidly emerged for a range of constituents including the enterprise, consumers, sales reps, boards of directors -- and even infants.  In the last 12 months alone, more than 400,000 mobile applications have been launched, and many of them were created by marketing teams -- not engineering groups.  All of this means that security professionals need to be savvy about the threats they pose.  Join us for this session as we explore mobile application security essentials.  We’ll examine the the three key layers that make up a mobile application, along with the top ten mobile app vulnerabilities that have surfaced in the last two years.

 

 

 

As the consumerization of IT accelerates and more mobile devices attach to corporate networks, organizations are bumping up against legal pitfalls involving how they can potentially (an unintentionally) exceed authorized access and unknowingly violate cross-border laws and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Join us for this session to get a top legal expert's view on the practical legal steps any business should take to protect itself from mobile security threats and related pitfalls.

Today’s workers increasingly meet, share, discover and get work done with technology.  In this hyper-connected world, employees expect to work from anywhere, at any time, with any device. That said, the flexible workplace creates significant security risks because of this expanded, multi-device access.  Nonetheless, it also provides new tools and technologies -- like virtualization -- that can make the workplace far more secure than before.  The challenge for security professionals is balancing this promise of greater productivity, innovation and increased access with the security concerns that come with it.  Join us as we explore what flexible workplace enablers are doing successfully, and how their actions are resulting in increased productivity and cost reduction.

 

 

 

Our business technology consumers are demanding access to corporate data from devices that we have little control over, against an unknown security posture, and with questionable applications downloaded from untrustworthy sources.  Moreover, as more and more organizations are targeted by sophisticated, automated and coordinated attacks, the challenges continue to increase across the emerging threat landscape now including mobile.  Traditional efforts to head off these threats are too often accomplished with narrow approaches of various bolt-on point solutions across antivirus, firewall, intrusion prevention, and single sign-on.  The onslaught of mobile devices adds yet another attack surface, and one far weaker than the traditional computing platforms we use for access to our corporate networks.  Join us for this session to learn about how to control these risks by restricting what these devices can access based on risk appetite.  We’ll also examine CSC’s enterprise situational awareness capability that enables an organization’s current security components to be integrated for a centralized view of their mobile exposure, security-related practices, processes, events, and alerts — all presented in an actionable and consolidated dashboard.

 

 

Like it or not, your users are demanding access to internal resources on non-company-owned devices.  We’ll discuss how companies are dealing with those demands and finding a good balance between keeping users happy while keeping with security policy.

A recent survey reveals that two-thirds of businesses that allow personal devices to be used at work don’t have a formal policy in place to manage them.  With sensitive data residing on most corporate devices, the absence of policy exposes the organization to considerable risks.  But with employees demanding to use the device of their choosing, how should businesses balance the desires of their employees with the need to maintain corporate security?  Join us as we examine the opportunities and challenges of the BYOD workplace and provide real-world examples of companies and industries that have successfully -- and sometimes unsuccessfully -- secured employee-owned mobile devices used in corporate settings.

 

 

 

As many organizations seek a logical path in wrestling with the onslaught of new devices attaching to the enterprise, many global companies have learned some early and valuable lessons.  For global advertising giant Publicis and their 50,000 employees, the challenge is unfolding in two ways.  On the one hand, they need to continuously grapple with how new devices will be used in a business context along with the many new ways needed to support them.  On the other, they must enable development platforms to create customer advertising solutions requiring visibility on the very same new and emerging devices.  All of this creates an atmosphere of urgency, combined with cautious, careful steps through policy, mobile device management, and particularly through customer information controls, protection and security.  Join us for this session and learn how they’re not only fulfilling this tall order, but how they’re planning ahead.
