So, the storage
So, the storage card is encrypted, and that is where my
important data is kept. The device itself is password
protected with and eight character key that meets or exceeds

requires authentication in order to use it.
Conclusion
If you use mobile devices on a regular basis, I suggest you
sit down and think about exactly what you store on them. It
is sometimes easy to overlook these things or under estimate
exactly how private or confidential certain information is
or should be. Make sure you take reasonable steps to keep
the information stored on mobile devices secure and private. It is definitely a balancing act between security and easy
of use.
And, what ever you do, don’t leave your mobile device in the
men’s room.
