In Pictures: Security mistakes right at your workspace
Smartphone left on desk
This smartphone is out for anyone to glance at, and has received a text regarding an executive's travel plans. Corporate travel - particularly trips requiring executive protection - should not be available for just anyone to view. That's just one example. What kinds of texts or other information might be available to someone who picks up your smartphone?
Takeaway: Take your smartphone with you when you leave your desk. Always have it locked with a strong passcode to prevent compromise.
