Air Defense Will Discuss Hacking The Invisible Networks At The Wireless Mobile Expo And Conference

June 11 2008 Toronto Canada Air Defenses Chief Technology Officer Amit Sinah will discuss Hacking the Invisible Networks at the 2008 Wireless Mobile Expo and Conference.

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.

As Chief Technology Officer of AirDefense Dr. Sinha is responsible for research development intellectual property and for steering the strategic technology direction of the company. He formerly served as Vice President and Chief Technologist at Engim a company he cofounded. He has coauthored over 25 journal/conference papers contributed chapters to 3 books and is the inventor of 15 US patents. Dr. Sinha received his S.M. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his B.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology.

No More Fear

Wow! You took a bold step. You started your own business. You have everything lined up. You know your product your service you have your office organized and you have set your schedule so that friends and family know when you will be working. And….

Nothing. Why? You let the one enemy creep into your mind. Oh it starts out smalla rejection or two. Then it gets a little biggeryou can’t seem to meet certain deadlines. Now you are looking at selfdoubt. This is a very slippery slope.

Because if you let it get out of control. Next thing is you’re afraid. Fear has moved in and is planted in the easy chair. What the heck do you do now? What is holding you back? We get so far into a project and stop. We think something is a great idea but never follow through. Some of us are so stuck in our ruts and keep tripping over the same obstacles. Why? Ruts are comfortable groves that we have made in the path way of life. But there is more to it. Sometimes we can not see through our emotion veils and what holds on to us is fear Fear of the unknown fear of failure fear of disappointing others fear of success. Fear is part of the natural world. Fear warns us. Fear keeps us from being eaten by bears. Fear keeps out of the deep end of the pool if we can’t swim. This type of fear is normal Too much fear is harmful to us. Fear produces our “flight or fight” response. This produces Adrenaline. Adrenaline heightens our senses. However prolonged fear can damage certain organs of the body. The heart the kidneys the thyroid. If you are afraid all the time. Then this is something you need to address. Did you know that there are things you can do to get through your fear? Here are a few suggestions:

1. Talk to some one about what scares you.

2. Write down what scares you.

3. get more information

4. Have faith.

5. take action Take little steps.

Learn to swim. Find someone to help you with that idea. Keep your head up. If you can see the big picture and stay out of caves. Fear will subside.
