Press Release Summary: June 11, 2008 - Toronto, Canada - Air Defense's Chief
Technology Officer, Amit Sinah will discuss Hacking the Invisible Networks at the
2008 Wireless & Mobile Expo and Conference.
Invisible networks are proliferating across the world from hotspots to corporate
WLANs to RFID compatibility in the warehouse. While unable to be seen by the naked
eye, hackers see these networks as a new opportunity to access corporate data and
make considerable profit. If a security strategy isn\'t considered as part of the
development of invisible networks, companies will find little luxury in their new
found flexibility if a data breach occurs.

June 11, 2008 - Toronto, Canada - Air Defense's Chief Technology Officer, Amit Sinah
will discuss Hacking the Invisible Networks at the 2008 Wireless & Mobile Expo and
Conference.
Invisible networks are proliferating across the world from hotspots to corporate
WLANs to RFID compatibility in the warehouse. While unable to be seen by the naked
eye, hackers see these networks as a new opportunity to access corporate data and
make considerable profit. If a security strategy isn\'t considered as part of the
development of invisible networks, companies will find little luxury in their new
found flexibility if a data breach occurs.

The session will examine tools that are designed to exploit three of the most
popular wireless networks, Wifi, BlueTooth and RFID, and discuss the important
wireless security best practices that will help secure the invisible networks.

The presentation will conclude with a discussion of security best practices for
countering potential attacks through the different types of wireless communications
introduced earlier. Building a layered approach to wireless security is where secure
communication begins. Locking down devices and communication between devices is a
start; however, organizations must also have visibility into their wireless network
to understand where breaches are occurring.

As Chief Technology Officer of AirDefense, Dr. Sinha is responsible for research &
development, intellectual property and for steering the strategic technology
direction of the company. He formerly served as Vice President and Chief
Technologist at Engim, a company he co-founded. He has co-authored over 25
journal/conference papers, contributed chapters to 3 books, and is the inventor of
15 US patents. Dr. Sinha received his S.M. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
his B.Tech. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of
Technology.
