Viruses, worms and Trojans can all be theoretically carried by WiFi and propagated from one wireless laptop to another without the need for a physical network connection. Wireless malware is a brand new concept and is likely to seriously affect the way that mobile users interact, the security policies that companies adopt with regards to mobile working, and the way we all view WiFi. This presentation will show the physical way in which this type of attack can be perpetrated over a real network connection and offer advice on what to look out for and on how to mitigate this threat. A live hack attack will form part of this presentation.

Wireless network security has become a minefield of acronyms and solutions which can be confusing and seemingly complex. We have WEP, WPA, WPA-PSK, 802.11i, AES, TKIP, LEAP, PEAP, TLS and TTLS security systems - which solution do you pick? We have all heard that WEP is insecure and many people will have read articles on LEAP and WPA-PSK security cracks. So what solutions can and should we implement? In this fast-paced session we will look at the latest wireless network penetration techniques. PEAP is now a predominant technology in wireless security, and we will see how to implement a secure network using PEAP, avoiding some weaknesses recently discovered. We will investigate how to plan wireless security, carry out security audits and how to deploy tools to protect against network security attacks.

As more and more employees work outside the office, they need access to valuable data on their laptops and other portable devices from public wireless networks. There are many emerging threats including data theft and unintended abuse. This session will show how to implement centrally controlled privacy and how to create an integrated mobile data security and management solution to safeguard information on laptops, mobile phones, PDAs, and other mobile devices.

Wireless LANs can bring incredible productivity and new efficiencies to organisations of all sizes. This session show how to properly deploy a WLAN so that it can be as secure as a wired network.

Interference is a fact of life in the unlicensed bands used by WLANs and is an increasing challenge in all WLAN environments where it usually manifests itself as reduced data-traffic throughput, less effective range, impaired quality of service (QoS) for voice and video applications, and also complete failure. This session discusses the cumulative effects of interference and looks at how best to diagnose the symptoms and resolve spectrum issues.

Ease of access to information brings with it a responsibility to protect the enterprise’s data and its investment in mobile devices. This session looks at the technology necessary to secure mobile access to corporate networks for handhelds and smartphones, and examines how to tackle the key issues in mobile security.
