They will share stories about what they have done in the past and will share their vision about how privacy and legal issues will evolve moving forward.

Please join us after the program for a cocktail hour, generously sponsored by our hosts Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliff.

Naturally, this growth will also see an increase in exploits and vulnerabilities within these mobile computing platforms (operating systems, applications, web browser, etc).

As new mobile product and service offerings flood the market, security and risk management practitioners need to be one step ahead of the game in order to protect their organizations.

This month’s NYMISSA program offers insight into how organizations can better protect their environments from mobile threats. Our speakers offer solutions and suggestions about how to address the biggest potential impact which in part is caused by the proliferation of sophisticated mobile devices interacting with corporate networks.

Speakers include:

  • Jesse Lindeman, Director of Product Management at MobileIron.
  • Jeff Stern, VP Business Development at KoolSpan
  • Eric Green, Board Member at Mobile Application Development (MAD) Partners

The attack objectives therefore typically extend beyond immediate financial gain, and compromised systems continue to be of service even after key systems have been compromised and initial data breach goals reached. Malware successfully penetrates enterprises through a variety of vectors, even in the presence of properly designed and maintained defense-in-depth strategies. At the very heart of every attack lies remote control functionality. Criminal operators rely upon this capability in order to navigate to specific hosts within target organizations, exploit and manipulate local systems, and gain continuous access to critical information.

Protecting your organization against malware and APTs poses a challenge that intimidates even the most stalwart security professionals. Leading organizations are solving this problem, however, and today’s speakers will share both the war stories and the solutions in the fight against APTs and how your organization can turn the battle in your favor.
