Too much emphasis on the physical leaves data vulnerable.
Malware is still the biggest threat to mobile security, but most mobile device management (MDM) strategies tend to focus on securing the physical device in case of loss of theft, according to Peter Gibbons, head of Information Security at Network Rail. Gibbons said that the scarcity of anti-malware products for mobile is a result of the way the security industry has evolved. Fifteen or 20 years ago, it was all about anti-virus and firewalls and intrusion detection, but more recently the industry has become more concerned with protecting data.
