Security Management White Papers

Be Smart About Mobile Device Protection

Tags:
security management

Overview Smartphones, pocket PCs, and similar devices offer the freedom to communicate and access important information anytime, anywhere. At the same time, the ubiquity of these devices has profound security implications for small and midsized businesses. A lost smartphone, or one that connects to a rogue network rather than a legitimate one, can open SMBs to all sorts of risks. In fact, recent editions of the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report reveal that spam and phishing attacks are increasingly being propagated through mobile devices, and Symantec security experts now see smartphones as the next target for hackers.
