Security Turned Upside Down: iPad, Facebook & Mobile Users 

 Why Cloud Security Delivers Better Protection than Appliances

The ‘consumerization’ of IT has blurred the lines between business and personal smartphones and tablets. This further complicates the challenge of protecting mobile laptops that bypass on-site security appliances deployed at company locations. Attackers are now using Facebook, email and encrypted payloads to compromise the weakest components of enterprise security: your users' mobile devices. Once compromised, these devices become a beachhead for hackers to gain access to corporate networks and sensitive data.
