IT Security Policies Still Don’t Work Says New Research
Despite more than three quarters (77 percent) of IT managers saying their company has a security policy in place for the use of tablets and smartphones, IT professionals are still downloading unauthorised applications onto their devices, according to new research by Kaspersky Lab.
The results suggests that while most companies are aware of the need for mobile device security and a robust code of practice for employees, a failure to effectively implement and manage such policies may be exposing the corporate network to viral attack and cybercrime.
