It's time for the annual BlackBerry Security Summit. This year, we'll get to hear from BlackBerry CEO and Executive Chairman, John Chen as well as key members of the senior leadership team including Chief Operating Officer Marty Beard, Vice President of Product Management Tim Choi, Corporate Strategy Vice President Jeff Holleran, Chief Technology Officer, Secusmart, Christoph Erdmann, and more discussing the latest mobile security threats, their impact on enterprise and government customers, and how BlackBerry are staying ahead of them.
If that's not enough, we'll also be hearing from Chief Security Officer David Kleidermacher, who will be discussing how BlackBerry is taking their strengths in cross-platform Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) and secure computing to help 'smart hospitals' and other enterprises securely manage their Internet-of-Things-enabled medical devices. We've opened up the live blog for everyone and the Security Summit itself kicks off at 9 AM ET give or take a few minutes. In addition to the live blog, you can also tune into the live video stream that BlackBerry has set up.
