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. The increasing use of these devices, many with the capabilities of a conventional computer, has also brought with them (intentionally or not) many of the vulnerabilities of their larger cousins. Hackers have realized the potential gold mines these smartphones represent.

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.
