Detailed description Is someone waiting to pick off your BlackBerry?
Today, it is almost impossible to do business without a cell phone and a BlackBerry or PDA. These devices are a lifeline for companies large and small. And nobody knows this better than a hacker.
Traditionally, security for mobile devices--which are essentially portable computers loaded with sensitive corporate and client information--has had low priority. Now, a certified ethical hacker explains why this must change and how to change it. Packed with sobering examples of actual attacks, this book shows you how to mount your counterattack.
