Using Mobile Platforms for Sensitive Government Business.

摘要

Mobile platforms such as smartphones are becoming increasingly popular for both personal and commercial use. When the data being stored and transmitted by these devices is sensitive this can introduce a host of security issues, some of which are discussed in this report. A summary is provided of existing practices for the use of mobile devices with sensitive information, in both governmental and business contexts, and emerging technologies for improving security are reviewed. Finally, some recommendations are offered for policymakers interested in increasing the role that mobile devices are allowed to play within the Australian Public Service and elsewhere.
