As a CISSP, the answer is "all of the above." Android devices are a lot like Microsoft computers, in the sense that they have to be protected using similar tools. i-things are alleged to be very safe, but I don't think I really believe it. They are, after all, computers. In any case, I'm trying to find out all I can about i-thing security, to ensure I don't compromise client information or my own. I've read "Mobile Device Security for Dummies," which is pretty good, but not deep enough.

well i personally feel that the iphone is secure enough. having a antivirus or something of that sort will only slow down the phone. i do everything on my iphone 3 from online banking, to food ordering, online shopping and social networking. all of those require personal information and so far i have not been "hacked" or have gotten my information stolen. but then again on my computer i dont run any type of protector either. but my computer has been problem free since the day i built it. so that tells you about me. honestly you just have to know what you do. if you are the type that think the popup that says you won a prize is real, then well you will get infected and attacked. its all common sense really.
