Long gone are the days when your team was tethered to the office, relying on filing cabinets and fax machines to get the job done.

The latest quarterly mandatory data breach report by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC), suggests that mobile security practices still have some way to go before they are ingrained in the employee mindset.
