Which of the following is the main reason for security concerns in mobile computing devices?
A.
The 3G protocol is inherently insecure
B.
Lower processing power
C.
Hackers are targeting mobile devices
D.
The lack of anti-virus software.
Explanation:
B:These devices share common security concerns with other resource-constrained devices. In many cases, security services have been sacrificed to provide richer user interaction when processing power is very limited. Also, their mobility has made them a prime vector for data loss since they can be used to transmit and store information in ways that may be difficult to control. Page 713.
