Abstract :
Advanced technologies used on mobile devices has brought us to the attention of mobile information security. This paper deals with the mobile phone information security of enterprises. The paper begins with the definition of information security, types of threats and vulnerabilities, and impacts of security breaches. An enterprise mobile information security management environment is presented to ensure the information security on mobile devices. The implementation of the system is described. The system does not guarantee the information security with a security policy in it. A set of guidelines for the operation of organization´s mobile devices can be used to protect network data against unsafe practices. The guidelines given by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provide rules of safeguards for the mobile devices.
