Adept Networks: Keeping Business Data Safe With The Iphone Find My Phone App
Everyone knows the joke about there being an app for everything including one for finding your lost or stolen iphone. Adept Networks finds apps like this extremely valuable, because people more often than not are losing much more than just a phone.
Online, June 4, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Phone theft is so commonplace that people rarely even think about it, however with the type of information stored on mobile devices today, people are at risk of losing much more than just a phone. Adept has recently written a blog post to increase awareness of keeping business information safe. Adept Networks is constantly staying on top of the latest technology which includes making sure that businesses can operate more smoothly with the use of mobile devices.
In a recent article, Adept talks about the new SIP Mobile Phone for Business that allows businesses to take and make phone calls as the business while using mobile phones. They discuss how business owners and employees can bring their Allworx business phone with them wherever they go. This new technology has been made possible through Allworx's continued innovations to their phone system software, culminating in their new 7.5 software release that includes an SIP mobile phone client app called "Reach." The Reach app brings all the functionality of your business phone to your smartphone anywhere there's an internet signal, whether WiFi or cellular.
New technology like this is fantastic in the way that it allows businesses to increase productivity, but on the down side it opens new gateways for important and private information to be compromised. Adept's new article discusses how with all of this mobility, comes greater accessibility to private information for those with the intent to steal. Theft of mobile devices is so common in today's technologically advanced world, and with more people doing more advanced things on their mobile devices, well, people are losing a lot more than just a phone.
Apple has been a leader in mobile technology and their apps are well known. Lately, one of their apps called Find My iPhone has been getting a lot of press coverage. For people who haven't heard of this app yet, it's worth a download.
Dave Johnson recently wrote an article on CBS MoneyWatch titled "How you can help the police find your stolen iPhone" It's worth the read plus it has a happy ending. Here's a quick synopsis pulled from his article:
"The woman flagged down a police officer who, somewhat miraculously, helped her recover the phone that very same day. How did he do it? He pulled out his own iPhone and used Apple's Find My iPhone app to zero in on her phone, which the thief had not turned off. Long story short: They chased him down, and recovered the phone, more like something out of a television show rather than real life."
