Technology Watch, Mobile Security

While your mobile electronic devices such as cell phones, PC phones, laptops etc provide a number of communication advantages, they could also be leaving you vulnerable to information theft and hackers. There are some easy steps that you should take at a minimum to keep yourself protected when using your mobile devices in public. That "free" internet access at a local cafe may not be as secure as you assume, leaving you open for attack.

Some easy steps include disabling your Bluetooth, WiFi or file-sharing settings when not in use. If you are doing a lot of mobile computing you may want to consider a private VPN connection back to the office as even WiFi connections offered by hotels can be unsecure. A recent article by CNNMoney.com further explores the issue.
