McAfee used the venue of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona as an opportunity to announce new techniques and tools for protecting mobile devices, data, and apps. Mobile devices are a huge target for malware and cyber attackers, and McAfee wants to ensure organizations have the tools to use the mobile devices securely.

Mobile devices have quickly gone from niche devices to luxury gadgets, to mainstream implements, to indispensible mobile productivity tools. With 16GB smartphones, and 64GB tablets connecting to corporate databases and network resources, it is imperative that organizations are aware of the security risks, and have the tools to monitor and protect those devices.
