"Embracing BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) -Driving Productivity without Sacrificing Protection"

The rise of mobile and wireless devices like smart phones and tablets means corporations, governmental agencies and healthcare systems alike, need to ensure they have the appropriate security infrastructure in place to guard against BYOD threats. We will examine ways IT security can be improved through mobile-device management (MDM), mobile- application management (MAM), and mobile-information management (MIM).

"BYOD - Bring Your Own Device (to work)"

Organizations are increasingly faced with employees wanting access to applications and the associated data through a greater variety of devices -not necessarily owned by that organization. We will discuss some of the issues and solutions associated with enabling access for these devices, maintaining/managing this myriad of end points, while maintaining security of the organization's data and ensuring authorized end-users can use the applications.

"FBI Cyber Task"

Investigator Leonard Guagliano, of the Niagara County Office, is a member of the FBI-Buffalo Cyber Task Force. Guagliano investigates the entire spectrum of cybercrime, to include Internet fraud/Internet crimes and Internet related crimes against children.
