Required Security Solution around Mobile Devices based on recent research.

  • Laptop encryption will be made mandatory at many government agencies and other organizations that store customer/patient data and will be preinstalled on new equipment. Senior executives, concerned about potential public ridicule, will demand that sensitive mobile data be protected
  • Theft of PDA smart phones will grow significantly. Both the value of the devices for resale and their content will draw large numbers of thieves.
  • Cell phone worms will infect at least 100,000 phones, jumping from phone to phone over wireless data networks. Cell phones are becoming more powerful with full-featured operating systems and readily available software development environments. That makes them fertile territory for attackers fueled by cell-phone adware profitability.
