For Immediate Release
Bluefire Showcases Handheld Security at MISTI’s HealthSec, PharmaSec and Mobile and Wireless Security 2003 Conferences
- Who/What
-
Bluefire Security TechnologiesTM, a provider of security software that protects handheld devices and data, will demonstrate best practices for mobile security at the MIS Training Institute’s HealthSec, PharmaSec and Mobile and Wireless Security 2003 Conferences. The three conferences are collocated to provide attendees maximum learning and networking opportunities.
- Why
-
Wireless devices are an enterprise vulnerability often overlooked in today’s wireless discussions. As with the evolution of network and PC security, the need for device protection is growing as handhelds become more sophisticated enterprise computing tools.
By not including the handheld in their overall wireless security strategy, organizations enable a backdoor to the enterprise through mobile devices, resulting in possible information theft, data copying and malicious code attacks.
- When
-
Executives from Bluefire will be available throughout the show (Tuesday, Sept. 23-Thursday, Sept. 24) at booth #26 to discuss handheld device security and demonstrate their Mobile Firewall Plus solution, the first firewall, intrusion prevention, authentication, encryption and integrity management software developed specifically for mobile devices. Demos will be available on a variety of wireless devices from leading suppliers Dell, HP and Toshiba.
In addition, Bluefire Director of Product Management Eric Maiwald will lead the workshop: "Intrusion Detection Systems in Action: Reacting to IDS Information", Thursday, Sept. 25 at 1:30 p.m. CT
