Cloud Security Solutions for Tablets and Smartphones

Advertisement

Cloud Security Solutions for Tablets and Smartphones covers the issues with lost or stolen mobile devices, accidental data deletion, App security and Malwares. These are the practical part of owning and using a mobile device, from Apple to Samsung, no manufacturers actually points out these parts. Cloud Security Solutions for Tablets and Smartphones from most of the manufacturers are kind of offering anti malware applications. The current methods for stolen and lost mobiles are far from being perfect, ultimately the owner runs here and there for legal reasons but the data get stolen. It is quite easy to remove the SD card and format the device even if it is locked with a password.

 

Cloud Security Solutions for Tablets and Smartphones : Encryption, Mobile Backups and Control of App

 

Implementing Cloud Security Solutions for Tablets and Smartphones specially running Android or Ubuntu can be difficult unless rooted. Cloud Security Solutions for Windows based Tablets and Smartphones is practically impractical. Although Symbian appeared to us a slower closed source OS, it had some advantages implemented by Nokia. iPhone although runs closed source UNIX derivative iOS, actually the security although not fool proof, is somewhat easier for a novice user, the prohibitive cost makes it far from being a device segment for all. Blackberry has the problem of lack of Apps unlike Android, iOS.

Four out of ten important persons report a lost or stolen mobile device, which were located on the upper half of the critical data, a study by McAfee revealed such apparently odd data. Nevertheless, hold only 38 percent of smartphone global users think an encryption on smartphones to be a necessity. With a cloud solution like some named Mobile Encryption service can automate the encryption on smartphones. After setting up the e-mails, devices can be decrypted with a single click. For BlackBerry devices, there is also a plug-in for encryption of the e-mails. Email Security administrators can direct e-mails to and from smartphone users depending on the sender, recipient and content of an encrypted transmission.

Up to $ 37,000 can be the cost for the loss of a smartphone, if its data are not saved. Nevertheless more than half of smartphone do not take data backup even weekly. Data protection for smartphones, however, can be automated easily. Similar applications exists for backing up emails for iPhones and iPads. F-Secure Mobile Backup does the backup and recovery of data regardless of the type of device or mobile operating system – particularly it is useful if the original device has been lost.

If a smartphone is lost or stolen, the data stored on it may be deleted as the last resort to prevent the misuse of data. Corresponding functions have been many mobile operating systems, but also specific cloud security solutions exists. This is actually easy for any Apple devices due to their private cloud storage service named iCloud. Devices and operating systems are independently of cloud solutions as from Syncplicity or McAfee. All these solutions also offer additional safety features such as mobile backups.

Cloud Security Solutions for Tablets and Smartphones : Control of Applications, Spam and Malware Detection

 

17 applications (apps) on average are installed on a smart phone and the app installation boom continues. Surely all the apps themselves are not necessary. Indipendent third parties reported that the number of malicious apps on Android increases at the rate of fivefold every six months. Monitoring the app installations and the examination of the used apps can help for controlled distribution of Apps. The inherited advantage of iOS is the App’s quality control, where Google definitely adds a insecurity via their Ads. Symbian 3 at the time of death became a sort of malware itself – the malwares spreaded over Bluetooth proudly taking the control of the firmware. This definitely indicates that any application actually can take the control of any hardwares for communication. Ubuntu desktop OS itself as claimed sells users’ data to Amazon, its obvious that the mobile counterpart can proved to be more dangerous.

 

Its unfortunate fact that, no mobile device plus operating system exists which are fully compliant with GNU GPL 3.0. They are not running fully Free Software. They are actually not like an expected Linux distro. iOS although of closed source, possibly a better option particularly as both Amazon and Google’s spying option is off, which is actually a great threat. Security is a joke for any Windows operating system. Thankfully Windows Mobiles cost a bit more, that itself prevented the dissipation like their desktop counterpart. Rooted community driven custom Android OS are probably better due to regular patching, manufacturers never regularly updates Android, even if updates never releases the diff.

 

Since the summer of 2010, the number of Android malwares has increased by 400 percent. This result of Malicious Mobile Threats report from Juniper Networks makes more than clear that malware on smartphones is a serious problem. The malware protection to smartphones, however, lags far behind. 84 percent of PC users an anti-virus protection (it is basically impossible to surf the internet on Windows OS without an antivirus plus antimalware software pair), in the smartphone users of antimalwares are only ten percent. Linux or OS X (both desktop version OS) although know clearly virus exists and they have more immunity, still the usage of anti virus / anti malware is over 30 percent.

 

Dubiously enough, the advantageous use of Cloud Security Solutions for Tablets and Smartphones, it self increases the risk of breech of privacy and security. From the perspective of data protection, cloud computing basically a commissioned data processing when personal data are involved. This may be the case for example in the central administration of the smart phones, the security monitoring and reporting on the security events and user activities. User should not forget the possible bad function(s) of the security providers that can show itself in particular in case of failure of the cloud solution.
