Consider the human body for a moment. Every day, it comes into contact with millions of different types of bacteria, germs, viruses.

This is the reality of the risk facing the NHS. After all, it can hardly stop patients at the gates, so the solution to the problem of unsecured mobile devices needs to be much more intelligent.
