July 16, 2007 8:59 AM
File under Articles

That’s all well and good, but there are security issues to consid What is required is that you find and talk to your users and show them that they are allowed to benefit from the corporate infrastructure as long as they play by the rules, luring them into your security policy.... When you do that, you can remove the devices from the grey area of tolerance, and get those devices into the controlled area of the IT department since they might not be your responsibility, but they still are your management’s security concern.

Company find Security Flaws in WM5

Stop the presses: A Microsoft software product has been found to have security flaws. Ok, cheap shot. And really, WM5 hasn't, to my knowledge, had any sort of catastrophic attack on it yet. Even this is just a report of a threat, not an actual attack (a report of a threat, one should note, from a company that wants to sell you software to protect you). Still, MS is on the case and, really, it should just be a matter of time before we really have to starting thinking about malware on our smartphones.
