CNBC Features One of Secure Computing’s Researchers

August 14th, 2008

CNBC recently sought out Secure Computing’s own Jonathan Zdziarski to explain his recent discovery of a kill switch mechanism embedded in the latest iPhone Software. Zdziarski helped to clear up the conspiracy theories and explained that the kill switch was a last-ditch security mechanism “designed to make up for lack of a secure operating system” by calling home to download a list of blacklisted applications. As the author of an upcoming book titled “iPhone Forensics”, Jonathan has discovered and documented how personal data can be exposed and retrieved from an iPhone by law enforcement agencies and enterprise security specialists. Check out the video of Jon’s appearance on CNBC here.
