Data security risks of cell phones
-
Data Exfiltration: Unless you assign read-only access to mobile devices, employees can connect their phones to their workstations and illicitly transfer data to their smartphone’s microSD card or internal storage.
Mobile Malware: Worms, trojans, and other malicious software can be unknowingly transferred to and from mobile devices. All it takes is an employee with Full Access permissions to plug their compromised device into their computer for the attack to begin.
