Fiberlink Introduces NAC for the Mobile Workforce at Columbus Tech-Security Conference

BLUE BELL, Pa., Dec. 12, 2007 – Fiberlink Communications Corporation, the trusted expert for secure mobile computing, today announced that Fiberlink Vice President of Product Marketing Skip Taylor will present “The New ‘Insider’ - Extending Device and Data Protection to the Mobile Workforce” at the Columbus Tech Security Conference on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 at 12:45 p.m. CT.

When an organization embraces mobility and allows its employees to work remotely, it opens itself up to new device and data threats.  Employees, once considered insiders, are now often remote and fall victim to the mobile blind spot – an area of vulnerability that is created when employees use corporate devices and data away from the reach of traditional enterprise security solutions.  Companies need an integrated approach to this problem, like that which has been promised by many NAC initiatives. 

Taylor will explore the impact mobility has on IT network security and how hackers are specifically targeting mobile devices. He will also explain how to extend desktop security to mobile devices and will talk about Fiberlink’s Mobile NAC initiative that takes a “protection-before-the-perimeter” approach to mobile security.

Columbus Tech-Security Conference attendees will come away with practical implementation ideas around intrusion detection and prevention systems, wireless security, Web hacking, contingency planning, vulnerability assessments, threat management, computer and PDA enterprise forensics, password recovery and disk wiping tools and Internet investigation techniques.

Location: Columbus State Community College
