Keep a lookout on our Blog for details on downloading the slides and the white paper shortly after the conference. Our research will provide very useful knowledge for the “buyers, builders and breakers” in the BYOD world.

Buyers – Organizations looking to purchase a MAM solution or determine the effectiveness of their current solution will find that we will cover the major threat scenarios in BYOD deployments, common short coming and additionally equip the business with the right questions to ask to the vendors.

Builders – The vendors that are creating the MAM solutions will be able to utilize our research to verify their solutions are not suffering from critical design and implementation flaws. The talk and corresponding whitepaper will provide organization with a solid base line of security checks to validate their solution against.

Breakers – Security assessors can learn throught the walkthroughs of the vulnerabilities discovered. The MAM solution security checklist will be provided so that security firms are equipped with a strong baseline for determining the security posture of a MAM solution.

The talk will be on August 7th, 5pm at South Seas GH. We hope to see you there!
