McAfee Analysis on Mobile Security

Smartphone and tablet adoption has rapidly increased for consumers and organisations alike, and increasing amounts of information are stored on these devices. As such, they have become increasingly attractive targets for cybercriminals, and McAfee has seen a large spike in malware targeted at these devices.

McAfee has released a whitepaper by Igor Muttik, Ph.D., senior architect at McAfee Labs. The paper examines the current state of smartphones and other devices and the security risks associated with their new capabilities.

Among the topics he explores are the following:
• Risks associated with Android devices as they grow in popularity worldwide
• Risks associated with iOS, Windows Phone 7, and other devices
• Changes and predictions of the mobile threat landscape
If you would like to review the whitepaper in its entirety, please download the whitepaper here.
