The CSIAC Podcast - Mobile Security – Part 1 of 2

In the past five years alone, the amount of mobile data has grown eighteen fold (Cisco Mobile VNI, 2017). Security concerns are at the forefront due to the reliance on mobile devices for both business and personal use, along with the ever-increasing data usage. There are two concepts of mobile security; physical and data. Physical security can consist of theft, over-the-shoulder techniques, biometric passcodes, and others. Data security deals with downloading applications containing malware, unpatched and vulnerable software, Bluetooth vulnerabilities, and open Wi-Fi spots. This video podcast and companion article will give you an overview of the current threats to mobile device security and what you can do to mitigate them. With an ever growing dependence on mobile devices, the security of these devices is paramount. This is part 1 of a 2 part series on mobile security. Part 2 is available here: https://www.csiac.org/podcast/mobile-security-part-2/
