IT Security can't keep up

Taken from:

The huge growth in the mobile market for employees does threaten security.

Some of the points in this article:
- employees think of their device as a simple 'phone', not as the way into the corporate data bases (and probably has the passwords saved on the device!!!!)
- the number has doubled in the past two years - with many of those having access to sensitive data
- insecurity WiFi - can allow others to access devices

Companies need to have strong security policies on corporate usages on smartphones (and tablets devices / iPad). Employees need to log out of applications fully. The data needs to be secure and require full authorization to get.

This will be a topic for years to come!!!
