Sadly many IT departments still ignore Windows Mobile devices. The devices live in the grey area where they do interact with the business systems (like Exchange and Sharepoint), but are not secured according to company policy. This results in an unmanaged risk in the infrastructure: the devices do contain business information but no demands are posed upon them to make them secure. We identify the risks that are introduced and show you that these risks are in fact unnecessary because you can do reduce the risks without adding costs or overhead. In this article we show how you can achieve a reasonable level of security that has minimal impact on user experience and budget."</i><br /><br />Fellow Mobile Devices MVP, Jaap van Ekris, has posted a great article on how to secure Windows Mobile devices in an easy and effective way. If you’re thinking about rolling out Windows Mobile devices to your workforce, or perhaps you already have, you’ll want to give this a read.
