hi martin,

Great to see you in Athens this week.  Sorry about the registration thing.
 As an author, I get very little say in the matter.  I hope you registered
as Mickey Mouse or Bill Gates.

Hi Gary,

I agree with everything you write in the article (although I was a bit
peeved at having to register to read it...). It ties nicely in with a
related topic that is being discussed a lot recently: "The danger of QR
codes", where people argue that you shouldn't scan QR codes with your
smartphone, since you don't know where they take you, and you might get
infected with something (as allegedly carried out by "Th3 J35t3r" a few
months back). Again, this is discussing the wrong problem - why are we
accepting to use smartphone browsers that fall over at the merest whiff
of an attack?

hi sc-l,

In April, my monthly [in]security column moved over to SearchSecurity
(TechTarget).  This month's installation appears in Information Security
magazine as well as on the usual websites.

Because of all of the great work Cigital has done in mobile security,
there was plenty of fodder to draw from for a pithy article on mobile
security.  Take home message?  Build security in!  Every software
security Touchpoint is relevant and useful when it comes to mobile
security.

Have a read, and pass it on.  Pile on the hits:

Your feedback is always welcome.
