Topic: What's all this smartphone security stuff, anyhow?

An executive in your organisation demands to use his or her favourite smartphone to access enterprise email, what are your next steps?

This presentation will discuss a range of topics, including:

  • How smartphone security is different to traditional laptop and desktop security - it's all about access, usability and value for money.
  • Ways to abuse a smartphone.
  • Technologies available for securing a smartphone and, importantly, what technologies are unavailable.
  • How to prevent information getting to smartphones.

Speaker: Greg Colla

Greg's vision is to provide the smartphone market with the capabilities to balance the security needs of the organisation with the useability requirements of staff.

In 2005, Greg Colla founded janusNET together with Neville Jones. With broad experience in Internet messaging, information security and product development, Greg has applied his knowledge to become a specialist in providing user friendly email security solutions.

Prior to founding janusNET, Greg consulted to the Australian government providing expertise for government email security policy, and co-authored the Email Protective Marking standard for the Australian government. The outcomes were a simplification of email security policy for all government staff, increased security awareness, increased security of government information, as well as increased security for agency and vendor interoperation.

Over the last 20 years, Greg has worked with leading multinational product development organisations, including Baltimore Technologies, ResMed and Dragerwerk Medizintechnik, developing complex and critical technology, and influencing change with his teams to improve their work practices and increase their productivity.
