Title: GSM Security Briefing Webinar: Just How Vulnerable Are Your Cell Phone Calls? … Post by: RealWire on January 28, 2010, 05:01:25 PM Expert panel discussion hosted by Dr. Larry Ponemon and Cellcrypt
Webinar: 24th February 2010, 11:00 EST / 08:00 PST / 16:00 GMT London, UK – 28th January 2010: Cellcrypt (http://"http://www.cellcrypt.com/"), the leading provider of secure mobile voice calling, today announced that it is hosting a webinar on mobile phone voice call security moderated by Dr. Larry Ponemon and assembling a panel of experts. This seminar is in response to recent news (http://"http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7cecdd4e-f73d-11de-9fb5-00144feab49a.html") (Dec 27, 2009) when researchers announced the codebook that unscrambles GSM calls – used in 80% of cell phones – had been computed and published on the web. Free for any criminal to use, this codebook lowers the cost of cell phone eavesdropping below $10,000. But recent research (http://"http://www.cellcrypt.com/031209.html") shows that while four out of five IT executives think mobile phones are equally/more vulnerable than email, less than 20% of businesses have adequate mobile voice protection in place and regularly discuss sensitive and confidential information on cell phones. This poses a corporate threat to commercial secrets, executive safety, data record breaches and financial transaction confidentiality. Hosted by the world-renowned security pioneer Dr. Larry Ponemon (http://"http://www.ponemon.org/index.php"), this webinar assembles a panel of experts to discuss the key issues of the GSM Cracking threat, the wider implications of cell phone interception and how to cost-effectively implement adequate protection.
