Abstract

The necessity of considering the three main faces of informational security mentioned in the title of the paper derives from the accumulation of the importance of the data circulating in the mobile environment for organizations, with the existence of numerous dangers and threats that target these data. After a general presentation of the dangers that can affect mobile business and commerce, structured on three main categories, the article surveys the B2C mobile commerce services and the main types of mobile applications used within organizations, re-dealing with the need for confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of the information turned mobile. The paper is mainly addressed to the managers interested in the use of mobile devices in the activity of the organizations they lead, warning them about the sensitive points of the mobile activities, with the dangers associated with them and suggesting them that the traditional security mechanisms have to be expanded and sometimes improved in mobile services.
