IBM Tech Finds Virus-Laden Apps Before, They Reach Your Phone

Mobile Malware is Bad Enough by itself but, it's a Nightmare at Work -- One Infection could Put Everyone's Phones at Risk, if Not the Whole Business. IBM has a Fix, though. A New Version of its MobileFirst Protect Tool, Now Automatically Looks for Virus-Ridden Android and iOS Apps on Staffers' Phones and Puts any Compromised Device on Lockdown before, it Can Pose a Threat to you or Anyone Else. It Immediately Limits Access to Apps and Services and it'll Let your IT Staff Know if there's Trouble. The System Automatically Updates its Malware Knowledge, too so, it Shouldn't be Caught Off-Guard by Recently Discovered Exploits. Yes, IBM's Threat Tool Another Form of Corporate Oversight but, it Could Prove a Lifesaver if it Prevents a Careless Coworker from Wrecking your Personal Phone.
