Did you ever give much thought to smartphone security? The smartphone is quickly eclipsed the PC for many common small business tasks that are carried out on the street, such as email, social networking, Web browsing, editing or creating documents need.
First Screen Lock your phone
If you leave your phone unattended for a while - or worse, if it is lost or stolen (more on that later) - You do not want to make it easy for a passerby to rifle through its contents. Put your phone will need a PIN code or password for access after a period of inactivity, is a relatively easy way to thwart this type of opportunistic unauthorized access.
