IT pros almost as bad as general public when it comes to mobile passwords

I find the findings of this survey unacceptable but is some ways predictable.

The reality is IT professionals rarely have a security mindset, this is not to be confused with configuring IT security systems. Speaking recently to a long-serving military man who has recently joined a major defence contractor, he has found the lack of a real security culture shocking.

Do not rely on your IT professionals to have a true security mindset, employ specialist external auditors for genuine piece of mind.

Be sure to activate pin codes on both your phone and voice-mail. This is a basic security requirement and not a chore once you are in the habit.
