Mobile Security in the Workplace!


SC Magazine has a good review of Mobile security in it's latest magazine, Topic: Shining the Spotlight on Mobile!


Reviewing several of these well thought out articles makes you wonder, Why are businesses not being proactive in educating their employees about the proper uses of mobile devices inside and outside the workplace?


Time and time again businesses take a reactive approach to addressing security concerns that stem not from the outside but the inside. 90% of all breaches are internal. Either from employee error, e.g. laptop stolen, flash drive misplaced, or leaving the blue tooth turned on your mobile device while outside the office.


When security breaches result in potential revenue lost, damage to the company's reputation, and potential loss of customers, one would think educating your employees would be a priority.


Proactive businesses make every effort to utilize "Best in Class" training companies to address this challenge.


Maybe it is time for the rest to follow the leaders.
