RB2: AusCERT interview: Mobile AV a "total waste" of money

Modern mobiles are actually securable, these guys claim!
18 May 2010 » Risky Business Extra, AusCERT

In this podcast we chat to two guys from Australian-based security firm Stratsec.

Ben Bromhead and Ken Hendrie spend their lives up to their armpits in Windows mobile devices -- they actually do the worldwide common criteria evaluations for Windows mobile devices right here in Australia. As a result, these guys know a thing or two about mobile device security.

In their presentation, titled simply "mobile security", the two looked at the common threats to mobile devices and some mitigations. I caught up with them after their presentation for this interview.
