Those of you who do not have the chance to use the Nokia Intellisync platform for mobile email and have to install a BlackBerry infrastructure instead, should have a look at the BlackBerry dedicated security page. It’s a good resource to understand how the product works and more importantly, how it can be secured.

Apart from the technical controls, don’t forget to update your corporate security policy with the mobility aspects and develop a user awareness program. These two steps are particularly important when you consider who in your company is going to use this type of product.

If you work for a financial institution located in Luxembourg, have a look at chapter 8 of the CSSF 2005 annual report. Paragraph 2.2.1 is about push-mail and BlackBerry. It clarifies the position of the CSSF on the subject and gives some recommendations about implementation.

As you certainly remember, we did a wardriving evening with Laurent and Manu a while ago. I then developed a super-lots-of-features Perl script that would map the points to Google Earth. Well, I found on Laurent’s blog a nice website that is currently providing every kind of translation/mapping features. Have a look at it. Unfortunately, it’s in french

The website is http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map?form=wifi.

Nothing is left to me but to execute: # > NStoGoogleEarth.pl
