Because of their small, portable nature, PDAs present a unique security dilemma. This is the essential reference for PSA technicians and IT professionals who need to understand and solve this challenge. Written by a security expert, the book explores PDA security issues and details what must be done to establish privacy in the hand-held medium. It: covers the vast variety of devices available, including Palm, PocketPC, and RIM devices; includes foreword by Rebecca Bace, internationally recognized intrusion detection and network security specialist; includes a case study guide - "PDA Defense - Palm's Choice for Enterprise"; explains why handheld security is largely about OS (Operating Systems); explores hacking problems; answers the questions - when does a handheld become an IT problem and what is a measured IT response?

We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish.
