CITJ Mobile Security 2014

Mobile devices are rapidly over taking PC usage providing employees the convenience of using their mobile devices to perform their jobs wherever and whenever they see fit. This has given rise to a whole new set of challenges as business data and systems can be accessed anywhere/anytime. The benefits of BYOD are vast, as are the risks.

An upcoming issue of Cutter IT Journal seeks insight on the steps that can be taken to manage and mitigate the major risks at both the organizational and individual level.

ARTICLE IDEAS DUE 27 OCTOBER. FINAL ARTICLES DUE 24 NOVEMBER, 2014.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:

* What is the more vulnerable attack point — the device or the cloud services that support them?
