Smartphone Security Risk?

I don’t meet many managers who think much about security when it comes to mobile devices. Here’s an example to illustrate why they should: Jane keeps her passwords on her Blackberry. Jane picks up some malware while surfing the mobile web. Jane’s passwords are now compromised, one of which is for your company network. Now your company network is compromised.

Keeping your Paypal password on your cell phone? Mobile phone security is something to think about personally, as well.

A good article with more info: http://tinyurl.com/22tlamc The company it mentions, SMobile, has solutions for both business and personal use. If you know of other good companies, please email me or post a Comment.

  1. I installed a free app called Lookout (from Blackberry App World) and so far so good. It has some very cool features.
