Mobile Device Operating Systems

Mobile device manufacturers have locked down their operating systems to a

degree not typical in operating systems used in traditional network creation and

implementation. The

objective appears to be protecting untrained users from

themselves; however, instructions to "jailbreak" those operating systems are

readily available on the Internet. Use the study materials and engage in any

additional research needed to fill in knowledg

e gaps. Discuss the following:

·

Does locking down mobile device operating systems make those devices more

secure than older, more traditional operating systems of the past?

·

What might motivate an untrained mobile device user to jailbreak their device and

pu

t it at heightened risk?

·

How do network administrators in organizations that have chosen to adopt BYOD

policies secure and protect their internal network from mobile device malware or

other threats?
