Mobile users afraid their data is not safe
Oracle published survey results today showing user perceptions of their security when using a smartphone.
The paper, "Opportunity Calling: The Future of Mobile Communications – Take Two", provided some interesting results, mainly that smartphone users have a healthy skepticism about the security of these devices.
69% of users surveyed were using a smartphone. That is an enormous number, even compared with a couple of years ago. The most interesting part is that only 32% of users believe that information stored on or transmitted from their phones is secure. Considering today is the last day of National Cyber Security Awareness Month it is extremely nice to hear that the message about data security and mobility is reaching the public.
