InfoSec Night - Defending the @home like the Enterprise

InfoSec Night - Defending the @home like the Enterprise

SUMMARY:

Introduction on the way that many security personnel attempts to protect the enterprise environment, the implementation of BYOD protocols and actions to ensure mobile device protections. I will pose the same approaches can be applied to the family environment. I don't have any exploits this talk is more geared to protect the family as we protect the enterprise. I also want to display and demonstrate the solutions that I have found.

GOAL:

I hope to demonstrate a solution to the issues concerning families with young humans (4-50 yrs old). How do we provide a safer environment for tablets, Internet Connectable Widgets, and doodads, when in the hands of the semi-internet savvy person(s)? I will provide some at cost solutions to help ease the minds of parents and provide reasonable control features to the household, with minimal mental overhead. I will walk you through the experience of being a remote parent that wants to maintain communication with my children. So, I did what any security-conscious parent would, I implemented MDM (mobile device management). I don’t work for Google or WordPress, but I will tell you how I leveraged these platforms to protect my family. The technical explanation will be reasonable, and you will walk away understanding how you could benefit from this ideology or a derivative of within your household.
