The Advancement Of Mobile Technology

This article gives a synopsis of threats to the mobile devices and the data existing in them and the available defenses. It classifies seven different types of threats on mobile devices and then it discusses about the precautions that can be taken to avoid these threats. It recommends how to prioritize the different threats and defenses.

However mobile devices also represent a significant risk to information security and data security as, if the appropriate security applications and procedures are not applied, they can be a conduit for unauthorized access to the Eastern Widgets’ data and IT infrastructure. This can subsequently lead to data leakage and system infection. Eastern Widgets has a requirement to protect its information assets in order to safeguard its customers, intellectual property and reputation. This policy outlines a set of practices and requirements for the safe use of mobile devices.

Mobile computing is the important information system infrastructure. Organization information system mainly get very good benefits from the Mobile computing. From work place and the normal can interact with Mobile computer is made possible by portable computer hardware, software, communication systems that a non-mobile organization information system. The accessibility, improves information quality, enhance management effectiveness all this potentially strategic technology is getting from Mobile computing. I am presenting the detail analysis, by using elucidate and support these asserted benefits of Mobile computing in the organizations. In additionally, a set of MOBILE framework information developed. I am explaining the benefits like defining the types of problems, opportunities and directives of Mobile computing. I am explaining History and efficiency of mobile computing. And I am explaining its business implications.

Attacks on physical systems: In current days, only organizations are facing the security threat is not the case, even laptops and mobiles are entrusted with the most sensitive of information about the organization. These devices, whether they are company property or personally owned, often contain company documents and are used to log on to the company network. More often than not, these mobile devices are also used during conferences and travel, thus running the risk of physical theft. The number of laptops and mobile devices stolen per year is ever on the increase. Another threat affecting physical security is that of unprotected endpoints. USB ports and DVD drives can both be used to leak data and introduce malware on the network. A USB stick that is mainly used for work and may contain sensitive documents, becomes a security risk if it is taken home and left lying around and other members of the family use it on their home

Mobile technology has come a very long way. When it comes to purchasing a cell phone there is an overwhelming amount of choices. Brand names, carriers, options, price, storage and applications just to name a few. Even for the tech-savvy individuals, the choices may seem overwhelming. For the non-tech savvy individuals the choices are, to say the least, mind-blowing. Two of the top phones on the market today are the Samsung Galaxy and the Apple iPhone. This paper focuses on two of the newest models offered by Samsung and Apple, the Galaxy S6 and the iPhone 6. The goal is to break down some of the more popular features and compare the two side-by-side to aid the tech-savvy (and not so tech-savvy) individuals with making a choice that is the best for them.

Thesis; Along with the efficiency mobile devices render, come along its risks, in which raises substantial security and privacy concerns. It’s important to be aware of the possible threats a mobile can have, along with knowing what and how to secure information, as well as trying to prevent threats from happening.

Through movement of mobile technology and they're expanding reasonableness, Mobile devices have turned out to be most omnipresent bit of technology on the planet who is changed from a methods for correspondence to devices from socialization stimulation, working and learning. When it comes to education mobile devices tend to be another level of learning in education. Mobile technology has become another way students enhance their learning. Throughout the years technology changed the way we learn. Mobile Technology is defined as any device with internet capability that is accessible from anywhere the user is. Current devices in this category include devices such as smartphones, tablets, some iPods, and laptops, although this list is sure to increase in the coming years.

Could you imagine going a day without your smart phone? It seems as though everyone now a days owns a smart phone. Smart phone have became rapidly advanced in such a short amount of time, with the competition between the two major smart phone companies Apple and Samsung competing to create a brand a new model every year with new features. The demand for smart phones is increasing and statistics show that more people have mobile phones than toilets. The time people spend on the cell phones is mostly spent on apps, and people are spending an average of 3 hours and 23 minutes per day in apps and only 50 minutes accessing the mobile web. Statistic also show that nearly 75 percent of US adults will use a smart phone in 2017, and it is continuing to increase. So, how was the smart phone born? Before the smart phone there were several devices that were used but not until recently those technologies were combined to create the smart phone.

Every day we use some form of technology. From the sound of the alarm on our cellphones waking us up to the ping of notifications, tweets, and news that interest us; we eat and breathe technology. In a world full of apps for everything and computers connecting us worldwide, we are living the good life. Ask yourself, when was the last time you were able to go an hour without your cell phone? your tablet? technology? Can you count change without waiting for the register to tell you the amount due? Why do we believe everything we research on the computers is valid? We no longer wear watches or learn how to tell time, watch weather on TV, or even calculate the miles for a road trip. The progression of technology has improved the quality of our life and how we live. Many people believed this progress is worth it. However, all progress has a cost? Do you ever think what that cost might be? We are so dependent on technology that without it would we be able to live? Is it dangerous? What would happen if it all went away?

Wearing your computer may not be a future fashion statement so much as a way to carry the most ubiquitous personal electronic device with us wherever we may roam. Gear lust of the wearable sort stretches back to Bat Man 's utility belt: technology you could take with you on the go. Today, we carry the modern version of a Star Trek communicator (the cell phone)-a device that is increasingly indispensable. Alongside the cell phone are a host of other handheld gadgets that would have been science fiction a few short years ago: child locators, universal remote controls (now capable of turning the AC down on hot summer days, opening the miniblinds, and controlling our increasingly-complex home entertainment systems, just to name a few standard jobs), portable CD and DVD players, and personal organizers. But where does our infatuation with portable technology come from? In the 1980 's, during the era of Reaganomics, computers became personal-and profitable. Until the first generation of the so-called 'home computers ', computers had been anything but personal. Most of them were million-dollar mammoths that took up whole floors of buildings and took an engineering degree just to find the power button. Large corporations like IBM and Xerox were the only entities outside government agencies and research facilities that could afford computers-ironic, since many of the same corporations would miss the boat when it came to initial investments in the PC market. The Internet-destined

Being a librarian and one who has always “had a fascination with gadgets” (Hanson, 2011), and a passion for both information and technology, Hanson states he has been working for five years to find a better way to join technology and information. He notes “libraries and librarians have perceived themselves as subject to near-constant technological upheaval and information revolution, largely due to the rise of microcomputing, desktop computing and Internet connectivity.” (Hanson, 2011) He believes libraries are situated in a place to encourage libraries to provide mobile library services. With nearly all Americans owning cell phones, accessing the internet via their cell phones and tablets and major service providers focusing on mobile applications instead of applications for the PC, Hanson suggests it is time for libraries to also focus their efforts on providing mobile services.

As more and more devices are being connected to Internet, more and more opportunities are available for hackers to steal and leverage personal and confidential data. “Research company Gartner predicts there will be 6.8 billion connected devices in use in 2016, a 30 percent increase over 2015. By 2020, that number will jump to more than 20 billion connected devices, predicts Gartner. Put another way, for every human being on the planet, there will be between two and three connected devices.” (Taylor, 2015) Below are few examples of the attack methods and tactics that are being used by attacker to penetrate networks and access computer systems.

An influx of security threats are affecting businesses, the major cybersecurity threats include attacks on physical systems (unprotected endpoints, insecure network points, internal attack), authentication and privilege attacks (weak passwords), denial of service (DoS) attacks, and malicious content, see Figure 1, Major Enterprise Security Threats. Since the internet has become a functional part of our daily jobs, it also increases threats such as malware, spyware, and social engineering attacks. Furthermore, attacks on physical systems is another threat that organizations face. Computers and laptops are entrusted with proprietary information, and bring your own device (BYOB) is becoming more and more popular within organizations, moreover, connecting to corporate networks. Laptops carry USBs which also hold

First Generation(1G): First generation of mobile communication developed in 1980 's and completed in early 1990 's based on analog system.1G systems are based on AMPS(Advanced Mobile Phone Service ) technology.1G network only supports voice communication and no data service is provided by this.

A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station.
