The most security conscious corporations are deploying the latest devices to stop attackers from breaching the perimeter. Georgia will discuss how mobile devices on a corporate network and/or handling company data undermines these efforts. We will look at multiple mobile platforms gathering sensitive information, attacking other devices such as other mobile devices, servers, and workstations, and using out of band communication to perform data exfiltration and communicate with internal devices. Multiple live demo scenarios will be shown.

Georgia has worked in information security in both the public and private sectors. She recently founded her own security firm, Bulb Security LLC focusing on security training, research and development, and penetration testing. She began speaking at security conferences at Shmoocon 2011 and has had a full schedule ever since, presenting all over the world. To name a few she has spoken at Security Zone, Takedowncon, Hacker Halted, Defcon Wireless Village, and many Bsides events.

Georgia was recently awarded a DARPA Cyber Fast Track grant to continue her smartphone security research. Georgia’s security work has been featured in print articles including Ars Technica, PC World, and MIT Technology Review. She’s also discussed security on television on programs such as Fox News Live and 16×9 on Global TV Canada.
