mobile security

I’ve been up to my eyeballs these past few weeks both at work and at home so no time to post. Anyway, I wanted to write a taunt post about Windows Mobile 6 which was announced recently at 3GSM in Barcelona. According to their press release, WM6 contains a host of new security features.

Security options. The platform offers a variety of security options, giving IT departments ways to help secure a device, including new Exchange Server policies and certificate options, storage card encryption, and continued support for remote and local device wipe.

Old habits die hard, so what I want to know is will the old exploits still work (scroll down for descriptions). Or is this a new code base? Sadly, I doubt it. However, besides that, features I do like are remote lock and remote wipe and also built in encryption (bitlocker/EFS technology?) So good on Microsoft for that. Innovate features, too. I guess you could say its Microsoft way of putting consumers back into control of their PC’s (I just love this video!)
