[itdiscuss] Smart Phone Security

[Lee, Jason]

JP, we do the same, but the Pre doesn't have the "only lock every 24
hrs" like win mobile or iphones do... 

 

How do you pre users not have to key in the pw every time their phone is
dormant.

 

Dave, for the future you can do remote wipe with Exchange2003 if you
enforce a basic pw and security policy.

We currently enforce passwords on all mobile devices using activesync to
hit exchange.  It's not that big of a deal since you can usually set the
timeout value pretty high.  Our users haven't complained about it
(almost 40 iphone users and 4 Pre)

Hi Dave,

Sorry to hear about that situation.  We tell our iPhone users to
password protect their devices in the event of loss or theft.  However,
we do not require it.  Instead, users are shown how to automatically
wipe the device from their Outlook Web Access in the event that such
situation should occur.  While it's a hassle to have to enter the
password every time, it's probably well worth it in case it falls into
the wrong hands.  It's probably not a good idea to keep contact
information on the SIM card and instead store it on the phone locally
since it's synchronizing with the Exchange server.

We recently had one of our staff's iPhones stolen and it was not
password protected and emails were deleted by the thief.  We currently
aren't implementing any "Mobile Device" security features on our
Exchange 2003 server.
 
What mobile device policies do you implement?  Do you require device
unlock passwords? etc?
