EC-Council’s Hacker Halted came to Europe for the first time. Firebrand
attended the conference in Reykjavik, Iceland and interviewed industry experts
about the hottest topics in cyber security.
Winn Schwartau,
President and Founder of The Security Awareness Company, is one of the world’s
top experts on IT security, privacy, cyber-terrorism and related topics. Having
over 30 years of experience in the industry Mr Schwartau is a renowned writer
and speaker and at Hacker Halted Europe 2013 he talked about the controversial
topic of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).
In his keynote
presentation, entitled “The ABC’s of BYOD”, Mr Schwartau spoke about the
possible impact of insufficient mobile security and how poor Mobile Device
Management (MDM) might result in serious legal consequences for your business.
Besides describing
the potential threats faced by supporters of BYOD, Mr Schwartau also
discussed possible means of improving the security of mobile devices. To see
