Sophos Introduces a new Android, iOS Device Security Platform

Security is a essential part for anyone who uses their mobile devices to surf the web,.... OK that's stupid, let me start over with a better line ;-). Seriously guys, for someone with higher knowledge can access your smart phone via Wi-Fi, 3G or any network connection and can use your camera, access your personal files, etc with ease.

To make things worse, in comparison with PCs the general knowledge of the users actually pretty low concerning mobile security. Anyway Sophos (a PC related security adviser/virus guard manufacturer...) revealed on a new channel that they are developing a platform that makes it easy to establish security protocols, etc on android OS based phones, iPhon/iPad via iOS in the near future.

Whet they does is complicated but to put it into simple terms... they're creating a framework in which developers or security consultants/users can issues commands that can block e-mail spams, scan and give reports of security threats of your smart phone, etc with ease. Use this article at eweek to know more if interested.
