Attacks on smartphones
Advanced smartphones enable people to share information and work in a highly flexible and mobile way. Unfortunately, new eavesdropping methods and attacks now result in major security challenges for organizations. A smartphone and the calls made with it may be an important source of information. Without an encryption solution the smartphone may be subject to a wide array of attacks. In most cases, these are undetectable and the user will never know until the damage is done.
