Mobile Linux Could Open Door For Universal Mobile Torrents
Mobile Linux Could Open Door For Universal Mobile Torrents
By: Eric Everson, Founder MyMobiSafe.com
As a mobile Operating System (OS), mobile Linux is quickly emerging as the platform of choice for next gen developers. As most developers are turning to the mobile Linux OS as an open source medium for content development and distribution, the platform presents a hot bed of opportunity for the development of Universal Mobile Torrents (UMTs).
As mobile torrents are in their forming days, the mobile Linux platform offers a glimpse of hope for developers. By nature the greatest hurdle mobile torrents face are OS incompatibility, which was less of a hurdle for the sister developments of computer-based torrents. As millions of computer users enjoy the use of torrents for file sharing, UMTs represent the same opportunity for mobile users. By their very essence UMTs represent a coming technology that bridges the vast complexities of inter-OS incompatibility by connecting all mobile platforms.
As the founder of MyMobiSafe.com, I recognize the security issues that such a technology represents to the global wireless community. Essentially as UMTs are developed and adopted the interconnectivity between handsets will emerge. While this evolution further creates unique mobile security vulnerabilities, it also bridges the chasm of interconnectivity that has long been absent in mobile. This technology is inevitable, so we should embrace it as we continue to grow our understanding of it. UMTs represent significant security risks if adopted by global users in mass, but the lack of their presence in the industry has stunted industry developments for years.
There will come a time in the not too distant future where mobile content will have compatibility across the spectrum of the wireless industry. UMTs offer the chance to bridge the qualities of existing platforms while creating unique development opportunities industry wide. The industry movement towards mobile Linux OS offers great hope for inciting the next stages of UMT development. While uniform standards are still needed throughout the wireless industry in adoption of the mobile Linux OX the organizations like LiPS, Google’s Open Handset Alliance, and the LiMo Foundation are playing pivotal roles respectively.

Cell Phone Challenges Driving Network Security Risks
Cell Phone Challenges Driving Network Security Risks
By Eric Everson, Founder of MyMobiSafe.com
Arguably cell phones have become as integral as computers at the speed of business and cell phones are creating new challenges for network security. As every network security guru would confirm, any network is only as secure as its weakest link. Employee cell phones have become common place through the ranks of the enterprise and government workplace. As the mobile security industry has been heating up lately, so have network vulnerabilities created by employee cell phones.
What was once a way of facilitating business away from the office is now creating additional hurdles in network security. As mobile security varies greatly from computer security, there are many unique challenges that even the standard cell phone represents. Once a cell phone is given a network connection point (e-mail, live video feed, etc), the cell phone becomes the weakest security link. It seems that nearly all cell phones can be penetrated to act as network portals, which naturally creates a network security nightmare.
Using cell phones to obtain vulnerable access points to networks is becoming widely understood and practiced throughout the world already. If mobile security hasn’t been a network security concern in the past, it will certainly become a hot topic of the future. Enterprise and government agencies are best served by employing a handset level mobile security solution to combat network penetration. As the Founder of MyMobiSafe.com, I actually share a background in broadband network infrastructure too. The obstacle of cell phones in the workplace has become the leading network security vulnerability.
As always, I encourage your input as I’m glad to discuss this topic further.
