SynerComm's 15th Annual IT Conference, at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino
Presentation: Bring Your Own Device (B.Y.O.D.) or Bring Your Own Risk (B.Y.O.R.)?
Tuesday • 2:25PM - 2:55PM
• Room: Harmony
Abstract
In an ever increasing mobile world, connected devices and B.Y.O.D. are rapidly increasing the attack surface IT security professionals need to defend. Over the past couple of years, an influx of exposed capabilities of cyberweapons dealers, weaponized IoT devices, and ransomware attacks targeting the health care industry and other corporations have thrust device and network security into the (long overdue) spotlight. How does the lack of IoT industry standards and a fragmented market of devices impact the information assurance and risk management posture for IT security professionals?
