Security minefield: 'Bring your own device' will bedevil IT security in 2012

The rapid adoption of the newest mobile devices -- especially the Apple iPhone
and iPad and the Google Android-based equivalents -- will be a huge disruptive
force in enterprise security next year. Not only will there be pressure to
decide how to protect and manage these devices, which are growing as malware
targets, the complexity of this task is magnified many times over because
companies are allowing employees to use their own personal smartphones and
tablets for business purposes -- what's sometime called "bring your own device"
(BYOD).

Darlene Storm: Encrypt: Be anti-forensic friendly to protect your Android and your privacy

Shout out a woot if you are a privacy and security fan to celebrate the open
source release of TextSecure, the secure text messaging client for Android. As
Twitter promotes Whisper Systems software to make it harder for the government
to spy on your smartphone, other reasons to smile as you encrypt are it makes
your Android anti-forensic 'friendly' and helps protect against mobile malware
to boot. The EFF even recommends WhisperCore for Android devices to protect the
privacy of travelers at the U.S. Border.
