Topic: Social Media Diseases and Mobile Mayhem - We are now living in a world where communication is increasingly driven by social media and mobile computing. The exponential growth in the use of these platforms has made them the new targets for attack. As a security professional, where are you currently directing your resources and budget? Your firewalls? Your anti-virus? Your IPS? Given that the targets are broadening quickly, it might be worth taking another look at your security posture.

This presentation gives you a global and local perspective on the threats posed through social media and mobile devices. Jarrod Loidl was one of three Dimension Data consultants who recently attended the Black Hat and DefCon briefings in Las Vegas. This presentation is an opportunity to learn from those who attended the conference about the current threat landscape and trends that were discussed, and how these will affect your organisation in the future.

  • During the session, we will focus on the following:
  • Social media: what should we be doing about it in our organisation? Can we control it?
  • Mobile devices: they want your phone, and your corporate data too.
  • Malware development landscape: why you need to implement a whitelist security model.
  • Legislated security standards: how the rapidly changing security threats affect the way you meet PCI, ISM, and others.
