The naked truth

Many enterprise users today create, access, and share company information on mobile devices, including iPhones and iPads. However, iOS devices may not be as secure or private as some users assume. 
As more workers go mobile, your company’s confidential data is increasingly vulnerable to leaks. Data leaks can expose your organization to lawsuits and fines; cause it to be out of compliance with government privacy regulations, and your brand reputation, among other risks.
The recent, widely publicized iCloud hacking scandal, in which nude celebrity photos were stolen and shared online, awakened many to the potential security and privacy risks of iOS devices.
Earlier this year, a new report from security researcher Jonathan Zdziarski  found that tools within iOS allow Apple to share some user data with law enforcement agencies without the user’s knowledge. What’s more, malicious parties can exploit vulnerabilities within iOS to access user data and install applications for spying or other purposes—also without the user’s knowledge.
The iCloud scandal and the iOS security report remind us that it’s never been more important to protect your organization’s confidential data wherever it’s accessed, stored or shared. Following the best practices outlined here can make the difference between protecting sensitive data and inadvertently leaking it.
