Consumer electronics and applications are proliferating in corporate IT environments, significantly increasing the threat of lost and stolen data. Personal devices such as Smartphones and Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) are now commonly brought to work and used for business purposes.

Today’s personal mobile devices (smartphones and PDAs) have been a boon to employee productivity. Though the number of mobile business applications is limited today – mostly email, IM and, less frequently, Presence Awareness – smartphones are already actively used in mid-sized and large organizations.

In preparation, significant attention must be paid to the definition and enforcement of IT security policies related to personal devices and corresponding changes in security threat profiles. To meet the challenge, the industry should have an effective solution for every aspect of endpoint security.

By utilizing an internally developed patent-pending technology, DeviceLock, Inc. has implemented the fundamental components of the complete local sync DLP architecture in its DeviceLock® software product that enforces mechanisms of mobile device connection control in combination with local sync data type detection and filtering.
