The Corporate Security Policy Reaches Out to Personal Phones

Marcia Sutton — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:02:34 +0000

There is an interesting exchange on Eric Goldman’s Technology and Marketing Law Blog re corporate policies requiring employees to submit to their mobile phones being wiped in the event the phone is lost or stolen or the employee is suspected of compromising trade secrets. The intriguing part of the policy is that it applies to personal phones used for company purposes, such as checking company email. We have discussed the use of corporate and personal devices in the past in relation to what a company can control; however, this discussion raises more questions about what companies are allowed to do or even should do in relation to an employee’s personal phone.

Ponemon Institute has released its Second Annual Cost of Cyber Crime Study (sponsored by ArcSight, an HP Company). The study surveyed 50 U.S. larger-sized companies, e.g. companies with more than 700 enterprise seats connected to networks/systems.

Summary results include:

*Median annual cost of cyber crime is nearly $6 million, which is an over 50 percent increase from last year’s study results.

*More than 1 successful cyber attack each week is commonplace.

*Cyber attacks are typically generated by malicious code, denial of service, device theft and web-based attacks.
