Why This Session is Important To You:

Mobile devices are quickly becoming more powerful and feature-rich, blurring the line between phones, tablets and 
computers. With so many new devices, operating platforms, and applications popping up while the relative cost is 
dropping, organizations are increasingly looking toward the use of employee-owned devices in the workplace. What are 
the risks, countermeasures and realistic advantages? 

This webcast will explore many of the ethical, legal and operational aspects, with a broad look at some of the major 
issues, challenges, and security threats both public and private-sector organizations should consider given their 
respective risk posture. Practical references to resources that can give organizations a jump-start will be provided, 
and hands-on, real-world experiences with mobile devices in enterprise settings will provide insight into emerging 
threats to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive organizational data, applications and 
network/systems.
Format of Webcast: 

This session will feature an interactive Powerpoint presentation accompanied by audio.
