Attendees Find Webinar Thought-Provoking, Relevant & Informative

(July 1, 2011) St. Louis, MO – On June 29, attendees from around the country attended the webinar “BYOD: Do you Know Where Your Data Is? Will the Bring Your Own Device to Work Trend Help or Hinder Your Business.”

Presented by Parameter Security & VerityThree, various professionals within numerous industries spent their lunch hour gaining insight into this new trend for Corporate America and what it means not only for employees but also the employer. Highlights included:

• Corporate, client and personnel information leaving the work premises via employees’ personal laptops and other mobile devices
• How IT staff will support various platforms and devices without it becoming a nightmare
• The fine line between employee privacy and employer rights when personal devices are used
• Compliance regulations regarding off site and onsite data storage, privacy, information security, etc.
• The implementation of policies and procedures to set standards, practices and mitigate risk
• Knowing the full scope of benefits and security risks imposed by BYOD
• Who is ultimately responsible for data security – Employer or Employee?

One bank vice president commented “What great input! This scenario just came up for us within the past two weeks so the timing was perfect. A lot of important things to consider before implementation came out of the presentation.”

Parameter Security & VerityThree were thrilled with the webinar turnout and are planning to address other relevant topics via more webinars in the future.
