Mobile Device Security IV: Today's Top Three Vulnerabilities

Overview There has been a marked shift in the use of smartphones and wireless technology over the last few years: from personal information storage devices to true networked devices capable of connecting to the web, personal and corporate email, and corporate networks. With the increased ability to have a PC experience while working remotely without the PC, also comes greater responsibility for understanding and protecting devices from potential threats and vulnerabilities. This paper explains the top three security vulnerabilities with today's smartphone and wireless device uses, and the countermeasures individuals and enterprises can take to secure transmission of data, and protect important personal and corporate information.
