IDG Global Mobility Study says that more than 70% of employees access the corporate network using a personally owned smartphone or tablet with about 80% of them accessing their email on mobile device.

A devastating fact is that about 57% of mobile device users are not aware that mobile security solutions even exist! Moreover, nearly 1/2 of the mobile device users do not use the basic precautions such as passwords. So, what can you do to make it better?
Use a password or PIN on your mobile device. You probably think: "Yeah, but my mobile device is always near me, I don't need that stuff". Let me give you one more statistical data: "27% of ADULTS have lost their mobile device or had it stolen" - that is about 1/3 of adult mobile device owners. So consider even setting-up an Anti-Theft solution. Use a Mobile Security solution, it can be easily downloaded or installed from the store. If you are using business critical applications or you are having important data on your mobile device, consider buying advanced protection. Be careful with downloading applications and download apps only from legitimate stores. Always check what kind of data is application asking you to share and if it seems suspicious - do not install it.
Keep your operating system and apps up to date. This sounds simple, but many of users forget to update their devices on time. Do not log-in or run high-risk apps while on public (unsecured) WiFi network. This can be highly dangerous, especially if you are performing any kind of payment or similar activity. I would advise that you wait until you have secure connection or use VPN! Block web ads or avoid clicking on them. If it seems interesting, do the same search in search engine and you'll probably get a similar result.
Do not root the device. Of course you know that you will lose warranty if you do so, but it can also open other security holes, which you don't want to see open.Back-up your data. It's not so hard and it's quite fast. Educate yourself and/or your employees. Your behavior is very important. Don't be too curious, don't connect with unknown people, don't click on suspicious links. If you get an email from colleague or boss asking you to open some archive, link or enter credentials - call them and check if they really sent that. Always double check if you are suspicious - it is much cheaper than repairing potential damage!
And last, avoid browsing pornography web pages from mobile device. Especially pay attention if your kid is always going to toilette with tablet or phone, it can be suspicious  More on this visit
