Conference
June 25, 2008 - Toronto, Canada – Air Defense’s Chief Security Officer, Richard
Rushing will deliver a presentation on Hacking the Invisible Networks at the 2008
Wireless & Mobile Expo and Conference.
Hacking the Invisible Networks (Wifi, Bluetooth, RFID and beyond)
Invisible networks are proliferating across the world from hotspots to corporate
WLANs to RFID compatibility in the warehouse. While unable to be seen by the naked
eye, hackers see these networks as a new opportunity to access corporate data and
make considerable profit. If a security strategy isn\'t considered as part of the
development of invisible networks, companies will find little luxury in their new
found flexibility if a data breach occurs.

The session will examine tools that are designed to exploit three of the most
popular wireless networks, Wifi, BlueTooth and RFID, and discuss the important
wireless security best practices that will help secure the invisible networks.

The presentation will conclude with a discussion of security best practices for
countering potential attacks through the different types of wireless communications
introduced earlier. Building a layered approach to wireless security is where secure
communication begins. Locking down devices and communication between devices is a
start; however, organizations must also have visibility into their wireless network
to understand where breaches are occurring.

Richard is a recognized IT security expert with almost 20 years experience working
with computers and networks. Richard was most recently Chief Technical Officer of
VeriSign\'s Network Security Services division where he identified and developed
products and services to maintain VeriSign\'s focus on leading-edge security

know that you don\'t\", Firewalls, Security Solutions, Network Security and Security
protocols. A much-in-demand speaker on information security, Richard has presented
at leading security conferences including Networld+Interop, Computer Security
Institute, RSA Conference, SANS Security Conferences, CyberTerrorism, and several
industry workshops around the world.
