Comments on: McAfee mobile security study - more scareware? http://www.mobsec.com/mcafee-mobile-security-study-more-scareware/ news, reviews and analysis in the world of mobile security Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:54:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Jari http://www.mobsec.com/mcafee-mobile-security-study-more-scareware/comment-page-1/#comment-1026 Jari Thu, 15 Mar 2007 23:05:32 +0000 http://www.mobsec.com/2007/03/01/mcafee-mobile-security-study-more-scareware/#comment-1026 This is probably the sixth study I've either seen or heard in past 12 months. Thats like one every second month. Some consultants are making good money either re-writing reports or doing same street interviews over again..=) Just kidding. But the funny part is that there's less seldom any real good proposal included. One thing I would like to see some big telco giant or operator alliance or something coming out with a public view instead of pure expert or security company opinion. Theres many moving parts and lot of differences in the mobile world. Take Japan or US for example. Have a good one - nice blog by the way. Greetings from warmer and warmer Helsinki, spring is coming.. finally! =) This is probably the sixth study I’ve either seen or heard in past 12 months. Thats like one every second month.

And from a risk management perspective, some companies (banks/financial institutions) will insist on having mobile AV even if no threats exist for the platform they are using (eg. S60 3rd Ed).

"study".. I am sure it was a study... I think they call it market intelligence. And with the current "scare" of security, mobile security is a good area to bank on for a AV vendor.. not much definition updates etc.... You got to love marketing… “study”..
