Smart Phones: A Growing Concern

By: Chris Marshall

Smart phones are becoming more powerful with every new feature that is released. This is not only attractive to businesses, but also younger generations. As we incorporate smart phones with more sensitive information, it creates a much greater vulnerability to information theft. Securing that sensitive information is often not considered, especially with younger smart phone users. The possibility that your corporate email, personal pictures, or other personal information could easily be stolen greatly increases if you have not taken measures to enhance your smart phone integrity. Regardless of make, iPhone, Android, and even BlackBerry are susceptible to attacks that, unaddressed, could result in the theft of money, information, and even identity.
