DeviceLock a worldwide leader in endpoint device control and context-aware data leak prevention software solutions, today announced it will be holding a webinar hosted by Infosecurity Magazine UK on Tuesday, 22nd September at 3pm.

The webinar will address what businesses should do to reduce the threat of data leaks through personal mobile devices like smartphones and PDAs. A leading IT security analyst will participate in the webinar moderated by Infosecurity Magazine's Technical Editor Steve Gold.

The world of end point security is changing rapidly. The proliferation of high-end consumer technology such as PDAs, MP3 players and Smartphones, has driven increasing adoption of consumer technology in the corporate environment. Microsoft is re-energising its Windows Mobile operating system, while the range of Apple iPhone's apps is soaring, as enterprise grade software developers get to grips with the highly flexible iPhone operating system that Apple has created.

Add in the myriad security issues caused by portable storage devices such as iPods plus semi-intelligent USB sticks and it's clear that that the world of enforcing policies and rules on end point security are changing very quickly indeed.

It's against this backdrop that Infosecurity has teamed up with DeviceLock, one of the leading end point security specialists, to offer a webinar that will bring the audience up to speed on the threats and challenges that the rapidly evolving mobile IT world engenders.

This webinar will:

• Give attendees a thorough insight into the anatomy of mobile data leaks and how the problem can be countered.
• Detail the solutions to these security threats.
• Help you understand the multiple topologies involved, and how an external mobile threat can also become an internal one.
• Offer you specific advice - via an interactive Q&A session - on the end point security issues that affect your organisation.

Alexei Lesnykh, Business Development Manager with DeviceLock, will discuss how mobile data leaks through employee smartphones may originate from corporate endpoint computers over local connections that completely bypass the corporate network and cannot be prevented by any network-resident security solutions. The presentation will explain how DeviceLock software helps organizations mitigate these threats through the use of a patent-pending local synchronization control technology.
