New Speakers: Join Federal Cybersecurity Experts To Discuss Virtualized Endpoints

This week's FierceMobileGovernment is brought to you by VMware.

Virtualized endpoints and cybersecurity Date: August 6, 2013 | Time: 2pm ET / 11am PT | Duration: 1 hour Register Today. Hosted by: David Perera, Executive Editor, FierceMarkets Government Group Virtualized endpoints - whether mobile devices or thin client PCs - have the potential to vastly improve the security of those devices. Not only is the data separate from the device, but software security can be managed centrally, potentially simplifying matters such as patch and configuration management. But, virtualization is not a panacea – security researchers have recovered cloud-stored data from mobile devices – and centralization in turn can also become a weakness since one attack surface could have an enterprisewide payoff. Join FierceGovernmentIT as we discuss the security pros and cons virtualizing end points with federal and other subject matter experts. Register Today.
