What You Need to Know About Mobile Security and Privacy

Can people really stalk you via the EXIF data in the JPEGs you post on Facebook with your smartphone? Does the Face Unlock feature in my new Android phone really protect my phone's data? Is it true that malware apps even exist on Apple's curated iTunes App Store? What security/privacy risks does BYOD expose my company? As a developer, what do I need to know about protecting my users' privacy? Do I need to hire an attorney to write a mobile privacy policy for my app, or can I write my own?

If these are the types of questions that keep you (or your boss) awake at night, or things you simply wonder about, you won't want to miss the next Mobile Monday Grand Rapids event. Come hear a diverse panel of legal, technology, security, and privacy experts discuss what you need to know about mobile security and privacy.

Please join us at 5:30pm for hors d'oeuvres and networking. The panel presentation will begin at 6pm sharp.
