01 Mobile Malware: The Threats, The People, The Solution
The media vultures have been circling this week after BlackBerry
announced plans to cut 4,500 jobs in an attempt to staunch its
anticipated loss of $995m. Despite the losses though, IDG Connect's
Editorial Director, Martin Veitch, thinks that while the Canadian
company might be down, it's not necessarily out. So what's the answer
for BB? Would cracking the mobile-security code ensure its success in
the future? Or is the threat of mobile malware just too big now? This
week we look at how the threat of mobile malware is growing, with
insight into the effects of mobile users, as well as tips for
organisations on how to embrace the BYOD trend securely.

Most Americans are still reeling from the latest bombshells
concerning the government's efforts to break through encryption and

National Security Agency has managed to circumvent or crack much of
the encryption that protects e-mails, medical records and banking
information, along with phone calls, Internet chats and searches.
