Academi have just come up with a mobile device security awareness module on their EP Course.
Good initiative from the company, I wonder when the SIA will integrate Mobile Phone, Tablet and PC security in the CP course core competencies?
As CPO's, we get a lot of information via email including schedules and information about the principal's movements. IF we can't protect that information we are putting the principal at risk.
