INFR 3630U – Mobile Device Security

Mobile devices are becoming part of the everyday life, whether on the individual or enterprise level, and their wide spread is presenting some unique security and privacy challenges to their owners and to any enterprise that allows them to be connected. Some enterprises are even encouraging their employees to bring their own devices (BYOD) in hope of increasing employees connectivity and productivity. The benefits of BOYD can easily be undermined as these mobile devices operates within and outside the security boundaries of an enterprise, are not subject to traditional security compliances, and can easily be stolen and rooted. The objective of this course is to learn about these security challenges and the technologies that can help mitigating them.
