Well, there's this: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/mcafee-malware-surging-on-mobile-platforms-especially-android/55537?tag=nl.e539
Now, that applies to Android--not iPad. But what I have to think about as an IT leader is, what happens if there IS a nasty bit of iPad malware? If I have a bunch of iPads on my network, how can I quickly deal with it? Can I centrally and rapidly deploy a fix? I have far more options for mitigating security risks on PCs than I do for iPads or tablets in general.

I do not have any experience with an Ipad, but I hear they are HUGE Security Risks. I have heard this more than once, and I would like to know more on why. It is not that I do not believe the people telling me that, however they did not provide the facts as to why. Does anyone know why they are considered security risks? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
