"'What this all means is that, ultimately, [companies] have to do the same thing they did with computers,' Mathias said. 'But with mobility, we're still in the "I don't know" stage.'
That 'I don't know' stage is caused by companies trying to do more with less. Devices are deployed and data is used on them and accessed through them, but IT budgets are dropping and managers are forced to try to work with fewer resources.
'The tools and techniques are mysterious to them,' Mathias said, calling mobile security a 'black art.' He added that companies are going to incur the bulk of costs associated with mobile security policies and deployments by educating end users and putting mechanisms in place that end users can't work around."
