Research published by Goode Intelligence suggests that 40% of organisations are planning to encrypt data on employees’ mobile phones from September 2010 onwards. The figure comes from the company's Mobile Security Survey, carried out in partnership with Acumin Consulting.
The survey also revealed that nearly 43% of organisations felt the threat from mobile phone data loss was currently low, although the perceived threat is increasing – just 29% of respondents said the risk would still be low in 2011, while 29% forecast that the risk would be 'medium' and 28% felt the risk would be 'high' or 'very high'.
