Windows Mobile security best practices are a key component of Enterprise Mobile’s expertise and services, but recently we’ve been much more vocal about it! First off, there’s the excellent WM Application Security White Paper that my colleague Dave Field just published. Here’s a brief synopsis:

This technical paper recommends how enterprises can take advantage of the powerful security features of Windows Mobile to defend against malicious and unsupported application use. Taking a very pragmatic approach, the paper describes how various features work and how to implement them to protect devices based on Windows Mobile 5.0, 6.0 and 6.1.

Go ahead, download the WM Application Security White Paper now, I highly recommend it for any IT professional who’s interested in Windows Mobile security. Dave has put incredible detail into this paper, making it invaluable for an organization who is currently using (or planning to deploy) Windows Mobile devices and applications.

Next up, there’s an interesting Network World article by John Cox about Mobile browser security that Dave and I are quoted in.  The article focuses on the impact that a new generation of mobile web browsers will have on how enterprise IT organizations handle mobile device security.  John sums up the three key areas that enterprises should focus on:

IT departments, according to experts, need to focus on three areas: assessing the security architecture and features in the mobile browser and the underlying operating system; working with users on smart and safe browsing practices; and creating a solid handheld device management system.

In fact, choosing a mobile platform with a strong and flexible security model in hand with a solid device management system can help you minimize the headaches that users have to endure. With those first two handled, educating users on smart and safe browsing practices is something that is applicable to both traditional desktop web browsers as well as the new crop of full-featured mobile browsers.
