Session Description
This session is the first of a two-part summit and will provide perspectives from Operators and Vendors on Handset security. As future-looking technologies like AI and 5G are more widely used, mobile ecosystem stakeholders -- industry, academia, policymakers, and consumers -- need to ensure that connected devices are prepared for new cybersecurity challenges and opportunities. We take a holistic look at the current cybersecurity landscape, and explore its strengths, weaknesses, and how cybersecurity can evolve in the immediate term in order to prepare for the long-term.
Better texting experiences for improved public safety
Basic text messaging has become a key tool for public safety officials, particularly in the United States where it continues to be extremely popular. But, smartphones are now capable of much more than just short messages. With the right investments, interactions with first responders and public safety officials could be vastly improved, and people could get the care and attention they need more effectively. This panel will discuss how emergency services and large event venues leverage texting to keep people safe today, the current shortcomings of the 911 system as it relates to messaging, and the changes to texting that could make the emergency service experience more effective for everyone.
