Compass hacks live at CeBIT
February 22, 2010;
Information by demonstration - this is the Compass philosophy. Thus companies learn about the so
far unknown weapons of their opponents in a vivid, entertaining and memorable way in order to be
able to defend themselves in future. The spectators experience live at CeBIT which threats result
from the following technologies and how to protect themselves preventively.
Datacenter – the IT-core in the crosshairs
Error configurations, new attacking methods as well as the human factor play an essential
role in Datacenter security. Despite all security measures it is often the ignorance of the users
that facilitates the access for criminals. Whereas an adequate physical security is existent in
most data processing centers, the digital security is still subject to common attacking
vectors.
Mobile Security – put he spy in your pocket
ICT security must nowadays go far beyond the protection of the network. "The best
security in the core of the enterprise is lead ad absurdum when the employees carry mobile bugs
with them in the form of their iPhones, etc." says Marco Di Filippo. "ICT security threats are
everywhere. The more complex and versatile the technologies, the higher the risks. Even a little
technically adept person may for example detect the location of a mobile phone, wiretap text
messages and eavesdrop calls.
The live hacks are addressed to CEOs, IT managers and interested persons who would like to get
familiar with the approach of the attackers in order to protect themselves better. Prevention is
better than cure.
