Targeted to the mobile security ecosystem, the focus of the one-day event is the key role of the network in safeguarding the mobile carrier's network assets while protecting customers from security attacks. The conference will also consider the case for distributing and coordinating security strategies across the end-user device, the mobile network, and the cloud as carriers try to prevent attackers from triggering outages and degradations or from stealing sensitive customer information. 

"Light Reading's Mobile Network Security conference provides a valuable working forum to discuss critical issues. It stands apart from other more sterilized events," said Dr. Ed Amoroso, SVP and Chief Security Officer, AT&T Services Inc.

Patrick Donegan, Heavy Reading Analyst, added, "There are a lot of conferences on mobile security but ours is unique in tackling it from the perspective of the mobile operator and the challenges it faces in prioritizing protection of its own network assets and the experience of its customers in the face of growing security threats."

  • Dr. Edward G. Amoroso, Chief Security Officer, AT&T
