Mobile Security Essentials

Mobile security, also known as wireless security, protects smartphones, tablets, laptops and other portable devices, as well as the wireless networks they connect to, from threats associated with wireless computing. It is important because without proper security, sensitive data on mobile devices can be accessed or modified by unauthorized parties over unsecured wireless networks. Mobile security aims to secure devices and wireless networks through measures like encryption, authentication, antivirus software, and device management policies.
