Information Security Forum to Discuss Securing the New Infrastructure of Phones, Phablets and Clouds

NEW YORK - Nov. 4, 2014 - PRLog -- According to the Information Security Forum (http://www.securityforum.org/) (ISF), a global, independent information security body considered the world's leading authority on cyber security and information risk management,the technological landscape in the workplace has dramatically changed over the past ten years with the introduction of ultraportable smartphones,  tablets, phablets and more. The benefits and opportunities are clear: a mobile, connected workforce is better able to multitask and communicate precise information globally with minimal disruption.

Despite the undeniable corporate and consumer interest, the security and privacy implications of cloud and mobile connected devices are concerning many security professionals. Many organisations are still playing catch up – Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) polices are only starting to be embedded, reviewed and updated. IT departments are overwhelmed with the amount of devices entering the workplace and connecting to corporate networks. Ultimately, employers must accept that cloud and mobile working will appear as the de facto corporate infrastructure and should place a strong emphasis on employees understanding risks and their responsibilities in protecting corporate and personal data. But how?

Steve Durbin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevedurbin), Managing Director of the ISF, will answer this question and more during this webcast as he suggest ways to educate and inform users on how to operate in a safe and secure manner in a cloud and mobile environment. Please register via this link (https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/9923/123165) for the free webcast which takes place on Tuesday, November 11 at 9 a.m. (ET). A recording will be available following the conclusion of the event.
