New awareness module on securing IT gizmos

 Portable IT devices such as cellphones, PDAs, USB memory sticks, GPS units, iPods and laptops are a ubiquitous part of modern life but, unfortunately, they are also commonly involved in serious information security incidents. The convenience and flexibility of both purchase and deployment are substantial advantages, so much so that they are edging out their more traditional fixed desk-based equivalents from many offices. Thanks to intense competition and tremendous innovation, gizmos are attractive, cheap and plentiful, and are fairly reliable. There’s a downside, however, as information security risks can undermine the personal and business benefits of gizmos.

As new gizmos and hacks are appearing all the time, it’s important for information security professionals to be alert to the emerging security risks.  The trends toward lower prices, digital technologies, device miniaturization, increased memory and CPU capacity, and longer battery life, are all too clear from the advertisements. Strangely enough, the security risks associated with portable IT and teleworking are not quite so obvious. Read on to find out what’s in store in December’s NoticeBored security awareness module, released in time for Christmas. Is Santa bringing you yet more gizmos?
