Scope of Smart Phone Security

Smart phones present a number of security risks such as data loss, and malware from mobile apps. With the growing number of employees working and accessing organizational resources from smart phones, it is essential to identify smart phone security threats. For this discussion, identify a smart phone operating system currently being used in the mobile phone market and list a security threat to that particular operating system. Explain the level of risk that is involved with the security threat. What can be done to mitigate the risk of the threat? What types of personal practices increase the probability of security threats? You can support your description of the threat with a real case. In response to your fellow classmates, consider the case that they have presented. What similarities/differences did you find between your initial post and theirs? Please explain. Would it be possible to make generalizations or universal standards that help to prevent these types of security risks? Why or why not? Are there any smart phone security best practices that can be applied to the cases that your classmates have presented?
