The Security SIG presents…
BYOD is the most top of mind security challenge for technology leadership in 2013. BYOD compliance presents security and audit issues. The proliferation of employee owned laptops, tablets and smartphones lead to a large number of mobile BYOD users accessing sensitive and regulated corporate data. Organizations that do not have effective management and controls in place for BYOD and related WiFi networks and VPNs, along with their related digital certificates and encryption keys, find themselves spiraling into a security and compliance quagmire that could result in breaches, fines and potentially brand damage. Join us on May 7th, 2013 whereby we have an executive panel of San Diego technology leaders discussing BYOD security challenges and solutions.
