Employees potentially increasing risk as they use corporate smartphones—or personal smartphones that they also use for work—to shop online.
London, UK: More people than ever are using their personally owned smartphones to send and receive e-mails, browse the Internet, shop online and visit social media sites—as well as perform work activities or even connect to the company network.

According to ISACA’s 2011 Shopping on the Job: Online Holiday Shopping and BYOD Security survey, 50% of UK employees questioned will use their smartphones to shop online between early and mid-December. As the line between personal and work devices continues to blur, potentially putting corporate data at risk, it is critical for companies to embrace the technology, and educate their employees on the risk.

In recent days, many of our troops have come home and been reunited with their families for the holidays. Over the next few days, a small group of American soldiers will begin the final march out of Iraq.
This moment of success is because of their sacrifice. More than 1.5 million Americans have served in Iraq. More than 30,000 of these brave men and women were wounded. Nearly 4,500 gave their lives. America’s military families have borne a heavy burden.
