Overview

New revelations of the cyber threat to government and business identify the risk of attack even when stopping for a cup of coffee. This briefing from DLA Piper's cyber security team argues that the solution is not to restrict the use of mobile computing devices but to enable access in a safe, controlled and informed manner.

To illustrate the point, the briefing gives details on how a government department recently hosted a conference in a central London hotel on cyber-security, which came under a cyber-attack itself. Free-to-use WiFi internet access can fall victim to a technique known as ARP poisoning to intercept and, in some cases modify, communications over that network. Additionally, the briefing outlines the relevant legislation used to fight cyber-crime and highlights the inherent risks of using an unsecured network.
