If you answered yes to even one of these queries a custom-developed solution is your only option. Yes, you can probably shoehorn any application into a thin-client solution. And just like the wired Internet, wireless browser features and capabilities will continue to expand. But until then it may not be a good idea to ignore the custom development option. Odds are you aren t ignoring wireless security issues but you may not be paying enough attention to them either.
Wireless applications are so new that many potential trouble spots have yet to be identified.
And device-side security concerns deserve particular attention. PDAs and other intelligent wireless devices are quickly becoming extensions of the desktop computer and business office. And thanks to wireless connections, access to corporate data is a mere key click or touch screen away. If not, take a hard look at your application s security needs in light of what the device does or doesn t provide. Better yet, with a custom approach you control the protection and encryption options.
