Some recent analysts and commentators have claimed that smartphones can pose a danger to corporate security. David Wood, executive vice president of research at Symbian, believes that although there are good reasons for the industry to be concerned with the issues of mobile security, provided that businesses and people follow some basic rules, there’s no real threat from smartphones. In fact, he goes on to argue that smartphones will increasingly become the keystone of enterprise security.
In this, his latest insight article, David provides practical rules for companies wishing to embrace the potential for smartphones to boost the effectiveness of their staff and explains the most important security developments in the latest major upgrade to Symbian OS.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
