Matthew M. Speare, Vice President, Corporate Information Security Officer, M&T Bank will talk about the latest technologies and their effectiveness to protect our important mobile data in a Xtalks Web Conference on Wednesday, April 18, 2007, 1:00pm - 3:00pm EST. The mobile workforce wouldn't be possible without laptops, PDAs, flash drives, blackberries and cell phones. These mobile devices have made it possible for an enterprise to have their employees work in any location. What is the cost payed for security?
Sensitive corporate information travels around many locations on a daily basis. We are all familiar with the high profile thefts of company data and devices that have made the news in the last few months. And more important, when a mobile device is lost, the cost is not just to replace the hardware. The data on it may be more important. Now many technology are available to support remote and mobile workforce, but the necessary security policies for both the mobile devices and the data that resides on those devices is lagging far behind.
IT management and corporate management must work together in developing policies and controls governing important data stored in mobile devices and securing the mobile devices themselves.
In this web-conference speakers will discuss the latest technologies and their effectiveness to protect your mobile data, share their thoughts about policy and controls to prevent mobile data breaches.
The most important topics are: * Technological and managerial techniques to protect mobile data
* How to protect information from stolen/ missing laptops?
* Encrypting data on mobile systems. Is that an effective tool?
* Identifying and reducing risks
