http://www.newsfactor.com/story.xhtml?story_id=010000BR3KPE&page=1

Mobile computing has become one of the most difficult areas of security to manage given the complexity of today's information systems. Many people have enough trouble securing their immobile systems. Throw hundreds if not thousands of more devices into the mix, and what's an IT security professional to do? Electronic data has sprouted legs.

Mobile computing has become a cornerstone of business productivity. All of the conveniences and benefits associated with mobile computing are obvious to practically everyone. Envision a world without wireless Internet, smart phones and remote access. It is hard to imagine how we could get by without it.
Now that's the rose-colored glasses perspective -- but there is a dark side to mobile computing that very few in business want to talk about or address. It is the flip side to all of those conveniences and benefits: the threats lurking, awaiting their turn to exploit the weaknesses inherent in every mobile device.
