In response to recent research reports revealing startling
discoveries regarding the failure to protect sensitive mobile data, e-Cycle
Founder and CEO Christopher Irion announced the launch of a campaign
encouraging businesses and organizations to implement responsible mobile reuse
and recycling as a key component of their mobile security strategies
(sfgate.com).
According to Irion, mobile data security has never been more
critical for businesses, regardless of how big or small they are, or what
industry they are in. Many businesses do not consider secure mobile reuse and
recycling.
“The legal and financial ramifications of sensitive data
ending up in the wrong hands are staggering,” Irion said. “Of greater concern
are the many organizations that do attempt to put safeguards in place but
actually fail to retire their devices in a secure way. We want to raise
awareness to the fact that responsible mobile reuse and recycling must be a
critical component of any mobile data security plan.”
The new campaign will focus on educations companies about
the benefits of mobile security. Some of the elements of the campaign are
below:
- Media outreach, email campaigns, expert advice articles and public speaking events at industry functions.
- Recommendations on how to build a secure mobile recycling strategy.
- Benefits of using R2 certified companies
How to maintain data protection by avoiding companies that
resell devices on websites such as eBay, reviewing hiring practices and
facility security of partners and carefully reading the terms and conditions in
regards to data deletion policies of partners.
e-Cycle’s campaign comes at a critical time as a recent
study showed that only 39 percent of some 4,000 organizations has these
security controls in place.
