Mobile devices and the enterprise

Mobile device protection has not kept up with cyber defense because of their different operating systems. Therefore they offer a greater likelihood of attack by cyber criminals. Many also do not secure their smartphones or tablets with antivirus software or take simple precautions such as enabling password protection. Finding and being aware of attacks may take days or weeks to solve.
Apple Watch
Apple has finally announced the launch of its Apple Watch on April 24, 2015. Pre-orders are being taken now. Just so you know, wearing an Apple Watch will be like wearing a computer on your wrist which will constantly beam messages at you. But like any computer it can break or get water soaked.
The watch has a colorful Apple logo on the standard model with zany hands that will give you time if you can figure out which numbers it is pointing to. I don’t think that many will care about the time but what this miniature computer will do for us that our iPhones can’t.
