Webinar
GSM Security Briefing: Just How Vulnerable Are Your Cell Phone Calls? And what you need to do about it?
Expert panel discussion hosted by Dr. Larry Ponemon, sponsored by Cellcrypt.

On December 27th, 2009 researchers announced the codebook that unscrambles GSM calls – used in 80% of cell phones – had been computed and published on the web. Free for any criminal to use, this lowers the cost of cell phone eavesdropping below $10,000.

But recent research shows that while four out of five IT executives think mobile phones are equally/more vulnerable than email, less than 20% of businesses have adequate mobile voice protection in place and regularly discuss sensitive and confidential information on cell phones. This poses a corporate threat to commercial secrets, executive safety, data record breaches and of financial transaction confidentiality.

Hosted by Dr. Larry Ponemon, this webinar assembles a panel of experts to discuss the key issues of the GSM Cracking threat, the wider implications of cell phone interception and how to cost-effectively implement adequate protection.

In just one hour, you will be fully briefed on the facts and armed with the right information to act.
