The household PC can be one of the Road Warrior's weakest security links, particularly if the road warrior shares a PC with children, other family members or housemates.
Re: The fragility of road-warrior security and Mobile-device lockdown.
Keyloggers, trojans or other malware may reside on these PCs. Remotely accessing corporate networks, applications and mail from these untrusted PCs could result in hackers capturing passwords and gaining access to private and confidential information.
The use of mobile storage devices that include anti-malware scanning and other built-in security features can help protect these users.
