What’s Up with What’s App? Ephemeral Messaging and BYOD
In this session you’ll learn why ephemeral messaging and personal devices create a risk for your company and how regulators and enforcement agencies view the issue, and what you can do about it.
Here today . . . gone tomorrow!

In this session you’ll learn why ephemeral messaging and personal devices create a risk for your company – particularly if your operation is international in scope – how regulators and enforcement agencies view the issue, and what you can do about it.
