\"2014<\/a>The Mobile Work Exchange \u201c2014 Mobilometer Tracker: Mobility, Security, and the Pressure In Between\u201d report was recently announced.\u00a0 Commissioned by Cisco Systems, the report includes findings from the Secure Mobilometer, a self-assessment tool used to better understand mobile security practices and threats.\u00a0 For this study, employees from both the government and private sector were interviewed about their mobile device behaviors and practices.\u00a0 The report states that government workers rate higher than their private-sector peers in terms of safe mobile device usage.\u00a0 However, the report also says that government employees can improve their mobile security practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the government is significantly safer than its counterparts, there is still much work to be done.\u00a0 Ensuring policies are being enforced is the best way to secure critical government data.\u00a0 Closing this gap equips government employees with the knowledge to thwart potential security breaches,\u201d says Cindy Auten, general manager of Mobile Work Exchange.<\/p>\n

Some of the key findings of the study include:<\/b><\/p>\n

* 41% of government employees who used the Secure Mobilometer tool are putting themselves and their agencies at risk with current mobile device behavior.<\/p>\n

* 90% of government employees use at least one mobile device (laptop, smartphone, or tablet) for work-related purposes.<\/p>\n

* 86% of government employees lock their computer when away from their desk.<\/p>\n

* \u00bd of government respondents indicate that their agencies have formal, employee-centered mobile device programs.<\/p>\n

* More than 25% of government employees have not received mobile security training from their agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 2014 Mobilometer Tracker study shows that six percent of government employees who use a mobile device for work say they have lost or misplaced their phone.\u00a0 In the average Federal agency, that\u2019s more than 3,500 chances for a security breach.\u00a0 Organizations need to take the necessary steps to protect their data and minimize the risk of data loss,\u201d says Larry Payne, Cisco vice president, U.S. Federal.<\/p>\n
