I would be very interested in this as I am in graduate school looking to study how to secure wireless media whichis almost an oxymoron. On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 1:09 PM, Matthew Gracie <graciem () canisius edu>wrote:
Long ago, perhaps back in the Pleistocene, a phone could be trusted to make and receive phone calls and otherwise leave well enough alone. Now, of course, with iPhones and Blackberries everywhere, people want to read their mail, check their calendars, and otherwise manipulate College data using their handheld devices. Like many places, I'm sure, we've been lax in addressing this, so we've got departments going off on their own, buying random products, and then asking ITS to make them work. Does anyone have some sage advice -- or even better, written policies -- for containing this? Have you standardized on a particular phone OS, manufacturer, model, etc.? From almost any perspective -- security, warranty, support, inventory control -- we need to get a handle on this. --Matt -- Matt Gracie (716) 888-8378 Information Security Administrator graciem () canisius edu Canisius College ITS Buffalo, NY http://www2.canisius.edu/~graciem/graciem_public_key.gpg
