  • In the ever-connected world that we are having to become accustomed to, you may now be required to or want to carry devices, such as smartphones, that provide "instant" connectivity.

    Join us in this session for a look at the techniques hackers have begun to employ against your smartphones and some ways you may be able to mitigate the risks related to these devices.
