1.50 Risks In Information Service Access Via Mobile Device

Today, many workers are carrying laptops, smart phones and other mobile computing devices containing at least some business data, such as contact lists, account passwords, confidential emails and file attachments. While these devices are increasingly well-connected, they are largely unsecured and can pose a significant risk to business networks and data.
