DeVries: DOD Must Consider Data Security, Coverage For Mobile Devices

摘要

Speaking at a mobile-device event on Tuesday, DeVries said nearly 80 percent of applications for smartphones are not compliant with security procedures. Connecting a device containing those applications to the Pentagon network could be a "scary thought," he said.
