“Take the phone but
not the data, please!”,
DATA64’s Smart Phone Security Survey, 2012 (India)
For Immediate Release: November, 2012, Mumbai….. Data64
Techno Solutions Pvt. Ltd., India's leading Cyber Crime Investigation Company
incubated by Science and Technology Park, a STEP promoted by the Department of
Science & Technology, Government of India, has conducted a "Smart
Phone Security Survey 2012 (India)" in the month of October-November. The Survey Report was published on 28th
November, 2012.
The survey was performed on both online and offline
participants. About 6230 smart phone users from all age groups took part in the
survey. Students from the State Board, ICSE Board, CBSE Board and IB schools
participated. The survey saw participation from college students as well as
working professionals from across verticals including Accounting, Banking, Financial
Services, Construction, Ecommerce, Education, Entertainment, Hospitality,
Information Technology (IT) and Law.
The survey revealed that 75% of the participants were extra
cautious of the data stored in their Smartphones as compared to the phone itself
and approximately 16% of the participants, mostly between the age group of
22-30, were ignorant about data backup in their phones.
This group primarily falls into the category of Executives
and Managers, for whom the data in their phone plays a significant role for
daily business chores and is of utmost importance.
Mr. Rohas Nagpal, Director, Data64, said, “This survey was
conducted to create awareness on what people from every age group understand
and feel about data in the phone vis-à-vis the physical device itself. While
initial concerns about security, service and availability of Smart Phones have
diminished, users’ ignorance towards storing data could be a grim issue and
needs to be addressed in time.”
