Personal devices a security hole: Australian report
Australia is lagging behind other parts of the world when it comes to the security of personal devices used on corporate networks, a new report has found.
The report, written by StolzNow Research on behalf of IronKey, sampled 207 IT business leaders in Australia, and a further 500 from the US, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom. It found only 38 percent of organisations overseas allowed personal devices into the enterprise, compared to 77 percent of Australian organisations.
Of those organisations sampled in Australia, less than five percent had a mobile policy in place, while just under half planned to implement a mobile device policy in 2013. Just over half (52 percent) had no intention of implementing a mobile security plan during 2013.
