I quote McAfee again: "Threats to mobile devices have been a hot topic within the security community for several years. We expect attacks to erupt at any time, yet they never quite seem to happen.
"Nonetheless, McAfee Labs predicts that 2011 will be a turning point for threats to mobile devices. This year we saw many new, but low-prevalence, threats to mobile devices...rootkits for the Android platform, remote jailbreaking exploits for the iPhone, and the arrival of Zeus (a well-known banking Trojan/botnet).
"The widespread adoption of mobile devices into business environments combined with these and other attacks is likely to bring about the explosion that we have long anticipated. Given our historically fragile cellular infratstructure and slow strides toward encryption, user and corporate data may face serious risks."
It would not surprise me to learn that most of your company staff have quite advanced mobile phones, including the top executive. And it would not surprise me if no policy is established for the use of these phones.
The number one policy is to establish what programs and apps can an employee have? But then, how can you control that? Any comments?
