Mobile Device Security and Privacy

Hello all---

As part of National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2011, the Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) would like to draw your attention to a number of resources on Mobile Device Security and Privacy.

With mobile devices being used on college and university campuses by nearly all students, faculty, and staff, we have a responsibility to educate everyone about cybersecurity, privacy, and protecting sensitive data. Here are some resources that you can use to educate students, as well as your colleagues.
