SANS Mobile Device Security Summit 2013

The evolution of mobile devices shows no signs of slowing, and with each new generation, the devices become more efficient tools that employees increasingly rely on to conduct both their corporate and personal business. Apps that allow the user to access sensitive corporate data are prime targets for hackers and provide a wide range of access ports to data. Controlling security breaches of mobile devices is complex due to the varying software and device types. Additionally, many organizations have no restrictions on use of personal devices.
