100 delegates were surveyed at Mobile Enterprise 2009 and the results showed that over two-thirds of organisations in Europe are unaware of what sensitive data their employees’ mobile devices contain. 38% are not aware of what applications their employees’ mobile devices had and just 15% were confident that in case of a lost mobile device, they would be covered legally.

According to security experts this survey highlights the need for businesses to properly protect their sensitive data and to protect employees mobile devices. Let’s hope that those solutions will be enough for the experts and they don’t go in for the Big Brother solution of keeping an eye on mobile devices!
