 Steve
Scherer, a Principal Staff Software Engineer at Motorola

and Current Challenges” as part of the LERSAIS
Seminar Series. This lecture will take place on
Friday, November 16, at 2:30 pm in Room 404. A
meet-the-speaker coffee will take place at 2:00 pm.
Mr. Scherer will discuss how
security should not be viewed as a liability or just
a cost of doing business, but rather as an opportunity.
He asserts that good security can be a distinguishing
asset and competitive advantage. This discussion will
focus on the history of security on mobile devices, security
policies, and how they are relevant to the financial
success to companies like Motorola. Mr. Scherer will
specifically focus on lessons Motorola has learned over
the years and where the embedded industry is headed.
