Tips for Mobile Security - Prevent Theft

How do you protect yourself from the loss or theft of your mobile device?

The key here is prevention. Treat your mobile device like a wallet or purse, always in sight and preferably within physical contact. (continued...)

To minimize problems if the device ends up in the wrong hands, implement a password-protected screen lock. Don't store sensitive information, such as usernames, passwords, social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card numbers on the device. With corporate systems, activate administrative device wiping so that an administrator can remotely destroy data and applications on the mobile device. Also, be sure to keep data backed up on a PC or server in case your mobile device is gone forever.
