The Contractor’s Corner – How do we guard against the risk of mobile devices?

Description

Abstract: Smart phones have become useful tools for construction businesses, but their increasing presence has led to new risks, as well. This issue’s “Contractor’s Corner” looks at the risks involved when an employee uses a personal device when conducting company business — not just the physical risk of using a phone while driving, but the cyber risk of having valuable company data stolen. These dangers illustrate the need for a formal mobile device policy.
