With this project the student analyzed what makes the iPad so popular despite potential security risks. The student concluded that iPads are reliable and that they increase productivity on the go. iPads offer applications such as iWork, Citrix Receiver, and Mail which allow users to easily conduct business and increase profits. However, users could lose the device, use the device on unsecure networks, and use the device without a passcode. Therefore, to keep iPads secure users should not use them to store critical information such as passwords, credit card information, or photos. For use in a business environment, IT managers should also use Apple Mobile Configurator/Mobile Iron which requires passcodes, sets group policies, and sets permissions on apps.
