This article discusses 11 best best practices for mobile device management of mobile devices and identifies ways an organization can use these practices to improve network security while using mobile devices.

This publication outlines the various companies that are offering "mobile wallets" as a payment option. The authors describe Google and Visa as leading the industry as companies who are leading the way with NFC technology implementation. Also discussed is state of acquisitions between the major credit companies and competing mobile wallet platforms.

This website gives information about Cyber Threats to Mobile Phones. The US-CERT provides valuable information on this site concerning recent threats.

Article from UMUC's library on mobile security

A study I found at UMUC's library how mobile OS are attacked by hackers and what methods they use to access OS

An article detailing the privacy concerns regarding mass implementation of NFC technology in mobile devices.

Michael & Ben, Did you know that iPhone 5 passed on Near-Field Communication Data Sharing while Samsung, Nokia and HTC didn't ? Article: Android Embraces, iPhone 5 Passes on Near-Field Communication Data Sharing http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=near-field-communication-security-purchase Sam Rios

Hi Sam, I had noticed that the iPhone 5 wasn't using NFC. I didn't research it further though, as I honestly don't care for Apple products (way overpriced imho). There are numerous reasons Apple may not want to use NFC, which could be anything from them having a competing technology and not wanting it to prosper to them simply not seeing the value the technology in its current implementation (it is still in its infancy in some respects). I found a site which was able to list numerous reasons NFC is lagging behind: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57441842-94/is-nfc-killing-google-wallet/ ~Mike

This article is based on a study conducted to observe and document human collaborative interaction using mobile devices and interactive surfaces.

Vickye, Thanks for posting the article. As mobile devices continue to expand into the medical industry, this will definitely become a serious issue.

This article discusses how businesses relate to mobile collaboration and issues that address its use in the mobile community

Georgia Tech's security summit report

Great article. Thing like this are very interesting to me. The section on Cloud Computing was by far my favorite. This type of technology is emerging and at the same time it has turned into a challenge for attackers to try to break. Security is going to be very vital for this service to work and more likely will be the subject of any topic related to cloud technology. Cloud service providers need to make a stronger statement and provide some type of assurance to the customer. Thanks!

I had actually read this article before, but it was good to read it again. While they are many elements that are concerning I find the "filter bubbles" troubling. A user has the right to know that their search results have been filtered. You think you're conducting an open search, only to read this and find out your results may be limited.

This publication focuses on the security risks of NFC technology. Also discussed are the methods being developed to mitigate these risks.

Accessed at the UMUC Library, so enter your last name and barcode/EMPLID.

Source 1 of 5 for my Annotated bibliography. I know we don't have to post anymore, but figured I would incase someone else may want to read, or gather information.

Collaboration in a moment of crisis

Interesting article about an app that has been specifically designed to take control of an airplane.

This publication describes the various applications and the future possibilities of Near Field Communication in the mobile market.

This study and report was generated by a collaborative group of experts under the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) umbrella. Five areas have been assessed as presenting the biggest need for research within a window of three to five years: cloud computing, real-time detection and diagnosis systems, future wireless networks, sensor networks, and supply chain integrity. This article interested me because as cyber security professionals, it's important to adopt a global mentality when researching technology and security solutions.

Good source for all kinds of information. One topic which interested me from this site was privacy in online tracking. I feel this is especially important with social media and societies growing dependence on mobile technologies. Google and Facebook tap into many sources to include your location, cookies, likes, etc...They amount of information they mine is scary sometimes.

Other applications of cloaking other than hiding information during transmission, is the hiding of communication source location(s); knowing where the communications are happening is a real threat for communicators. Spatial cloaking, ability to hide physical objects, in this instance loosely used, provides the ability to keep peer-to-peer (P2P) communication sources anonymous with regards to geographic constraints; however, temporal cloaking is also employed to hide a person's whereabouts during specified times.
