I want to take a quick break from the history of telco (rest
assured, I'll get back to Ma. Bell's accomplishments next week ) and mention a
Cywest road trip next week to the 36th Annual International Legal Technology
Association (ILTA) Conference in Las Vegas, NV. I'm the featured speaker
at an exclusive luncheon on Tuesday regarding digital security and its impact
on commerce in today's global market. Being in Sin City, one of the
things you realize is the sin so many companies have of blissful ignorance when
it comes to how well they are protected. You can implement firewalls,
secure data repositories, etc and still find yourself imminently vulnerable
from the most unexpected source of all: the smart phone used by any
company employee.
A number of software developers have created Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions to address this need but most focus solely on the idea of containerization, the securing of company data on the phone from unauthorized use. Left unattended is the fact that those same phones can be easily hacked from the outside and become infiltration agents for those who intend harm. During the lunch, we'll be spotlighting several new technologies we have coming to market that, not only close this loophole, but empower the leaders of the targeted companies to turn the tables effectively on their hacker.
So much of the corporate mentality when it comes to security is to adopt a defensive posture, to wait for a threat or breach to occur and then react to it with all the powers at their disposal. Unfortunately, by then at least some damage has occurred or, at best, the company is spending too much to expedite solutions. We take the opposite view and help our customers create an offensive minded approach that more than levels the playing field. Our solutions are unique and they're designed for the security person who understands how critical it is to be addressing the next generation of threats BEFORE they arrive.
I look forward to seeing everyone in Las Vegas and if you'd like to meet individually to discuss your firm's security or telco issues, just let me know. For those who can't attend but would like more info about what we're developing, let me know that as well. Safe travels to all who are making their way to the conference.
