• Saw some interesting articles/points for Mobile Security
  1. QR Codes – The next generation of barcode are becoming a very easy way to share data: URLS, Contact Info, etc. but w/o sanitization they could allow for malicious content. SET – the social engineering toolkit even allows for building QR codes as part of the bundling of the package/exploits. As security folk we always tell people to watch where they are going on the internet – with QR codes they may not know. Also with the wide acceptance of QR codes the likelihood that a desktop applications are developed and become common place are higher.
  2. Taploger – new and unique ways of exploiting phones: http://thehackernews.com/2012/04/taplogger-android-trojan-can-determine.html
     Used “non protected” pieces to find out “protected” data. what do these new attacks mean for phones.

Topics

• The new NSA data center -http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/
  some questions I thought would be good for discussion: 1. Why are they allowing the building of this to be so public? 2. What will they actually store there? 3. should we be worried (where is the tinfoil) 3. should other nations be worried? 4. where is the back data center?

• There has been some good articles about breaches released recently and would like to discuss them as a group.

  • another similar one (not discussed on the show):http://www.hpenterprisesecurity.com/collateral/report/2011FullYearCyberSecurityRisksReport.pdf
• Given these trends how should, if at all, a corporation change their security posture to protect against them.

Tighe Greenhalgh comes from a family of entrepreneurs and fell in love with the life at a young age. Seeing entrepreneurship as the path to fulfillment and freedom, it is his passion to make the joys of entrepreneurship accessible to more people. Although born in Philadelphia and raised in Kansas City, he married a Baltimore area native and they are expecting their first child due in February 2012.

Harley Flack, founder of FlackVentures (FVI), is a dynamic and mindful thought leader. Harley has been deemed an innovator in ethics, mentorship, networking, financing, capital strategies, valuations and term sheet management as well as organizational development, government strategies, procurement strategies, sourcing, change methodologies, green business solutions, strategic planning and tactical initiatives. Most importantly, he understands working for the client. By evaluating Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for tracking, accountability, and sustainability, Harley then develops a balanced score card approach to provide transparency and tracking mechanisms that strengthen the linkages within government and the private sector.

As CEO of FlackVentures, Harley Flack studies measures, metrics and overall performance indicators of government and companies to lead and manage successful growth. Harley has worked with senior leadership of more then 200 Fortune 500 companies to create measurable results in diverse areas over the last two decades. He increased the overall revenue of a New York firm by 6X over a 4 year period. His support of the spending initiatives of a national senior living organization resulted in saving +7X on a corporate wide technology acquisition for over 30 facilities by developing methods for bundled acquisition of hardware and software along with competitively priced service contracts.
