Executive Summary
With the growing sophistication and increased deployment of smartphones and high-performance PDAs, the days of mobile innocence are over. The times when you could choose your enterprise mobile device based on personal stylistic preference are gone. A new, much more vicious reality is dawning as phones get smarter and begin attracting the unwanted attention of hackers, attackers, and scammers. The emergence of worms, viruses, and Trojans for mobile devices is an early warning to enterprises of the insecurity of PDA and smartphone operating systems. It is time to start treating smartphones and wireless PDAs for what they are: small yet fully functional computers connected to your enterprise, not relatively safe personal devices that fall outside the purview of IT management.
