Why Mobile Security Is Important

Mobile phones are everywhere and you need to know how to secure the data you have on them in order to protect your privacy. It's unfortunate that there are so many people who dismiss mobile phone security. They certainly never would make that mistake on their home computer - they shouldn't with their phones.

While security needs to be in place to stop potential hackers, it also needs to be in place should you lose your phone or have it stolen. After all, it could take hour after hour to undo the harm that can be done to your company, reputation and finances if private data was leaked such as credit card details of your clients, and sometimes a full recovery is impossible. If someone found your phone, what information would they have about you or your company?

It is crucial to have a strong password on your mobile phone or tablet just in case you lose it. With 3CX Mobile Device Manager you also have some additional options to give you peace of mind. Not only can you see the location of your mobile device in real time to try and recover it, but in the meantime you can remotely lock it and change the password to stop anyone accessing all your data.

If you are unable to recover your mobile phone, however, you can also remote wipe all data from it and any attached SD cards. By doing this, you can be sure that no identity theft can occur and no sensitive corporate data is exposed.
