6 Best Practices for Mobile Device Security
Keep your business data safe wherever you may roam
While it’s important to protect your organization’s computers and networks from malicious activity in order to safeguard sensitive data, it is just as important to address security issues involving the mobile devices used for your business.
Whether your business has a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy or has company-issued mobile devices, any attempts to keep your office IT secure will come to nothing if you don’t also address mobile security. Consider these taking these steps to promote a safer, more secure mobile business environment.
Educating employees
The first line of defence in maintaining mobile security is the users themselves. Make sure your employees understand the important role mobile security plays in protecting sensitive business data and the ability to perform their jobs effectively. They need to be aware of the risks involved in not maintaining effective mobile security.
As a business owner, it’s your responsibility to ensure employees are taught the best practices for keeping business-related mobile devices secure, as well as informed on the various types of threats that exist.
