Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

More than half of European and North American companies have adopted some type of mobile application — as a result, firms must address mobile device security. Handhelds and smartphones are used for email, calendar, contact management, and line-of-business applications like sales force automation. Many firms do not have adequate control of the devices; few firms even know what devices exist and what information is on them. Forrester believes that 2006 will bring a number of headline security incidents involving mobile devices. The increased risk of information theft and malicious code affecting mobile devices will demand immediate attention from IT security managers. Organizations must include mobile security in overall IT security policies, educate users about the security risks, and implement active countermeasures.
