HP Inc. today introduced the first of a series of global initiatives to elevate awareness of the security risks facing businesses and consumers. It kicks off with award-winning actor Christian Slater and the premiere of the newly launched HP Studios' web series, The Wolf, highlighting how corporate networks can be hacked and what companies must do to protect themselves. Watch and share the trailer and web series at www.hp.com/TheWolf. View "The Wolf" online press kit click here and link to the live press kit.

In the series, Slater systematically hacks a company - from the mailroom to the boardroom - through overlooked vulnerabilities and poorly secured printers and PCs. This first installment reinforces that security is no longer just the responsibility of the network or something at the perimeter, but it's a concern for everyone.

    But can't those people be required to NOT bring their personal devices into highly secure spaces where matters of national security are being disgust?

      someone who would bring their iPhone into a top secret area just doesn't get a top secret clearance.

        Well then, you just move the top secret meetings out of the top secret area.

          This should only be permitted if the publicly performed top secret meetings of national security can be made sufficiently entertaining for your dinner guests who paid the recently doubled price of $200,000.00 for a membership to your club. They paid this for the unstated, but unspoken understanding that they would be granted photo ops with foreign heads of state, the guy who carries the football, the president and other high level government officials both foreign and domestic.
