"Mobile devices increase the productivity of workers around the world, giving them access to corporate information and keeping them connected even while they?re away from the physical office. The productivity increases are real: just turn on the mobile device and get to work. On the other side of that coin are the IT professionals who are challenged with the difficult task of keeping the virtual office secure and stable. From their perspective, every mobile device is a potential network security leak to be plugged and a potential data theft liability. Building a more secure deployment of mobile devices is crucial, but must also be balanced with providing a seamless and intuitive user experience. "
TechNet Magazine has a published a great article which highlights more than a few security measures that are built into Windows Mobile Standard and Professional, as well as Microsoft's Exchange Server. Out of all of the security precautions my favorite is the "Remote Wipe" feature. I love this feature so much; it baffles me that wireless carriers haven't built this into the regular batch of features that are included into almost every handset produced. :|
