The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) has issued draft mobile device security guidance to help organizations improve the security of corporately-owned personally-enabled (COPE) mobile devices and reduce the risk the devices pose to network security.

The devices introduce new threats to the enterprise that do not exist for traditional IT devices such as desktop computers and mobile devices are subject to different types of attacks.
Mobile devices are typically always on and always connected to the Internet and they are often used to access corporate networks remotely via untrusted networks. Malicious apps can be installed on devices that may be granted access to data. The devices are also small and portable, which increases the risk of loss or theft.

The new guidance – SP 1800-21 – explains the unique risks introduced by mobile devices and how those risks can be reduced to a low and acceptable through the use of privacy protections.
