Get Ready, Get Set, Go Mobile Find the Perfect Security Balance
WRITTEN BY STEPHEN NARDONE L
IKE almost any endeavor in IT today, a one-size mobility plan does not fit all enterprises. Your
mobile deployment will be unique to your company, and researching and implementing the diverse components involved—including mobile devices, network equipment, security infrastructure, mobile security policies, and compliance requirements—can be daunting.
Deciding on the security and mobility requirements of users throughout the enterprise is also a major challenge. The enterprise needs to develop and enforce clear policies for mobile security that are aligned with the needs of user segments within the company.
Differentiate Demands
While senior executives and sales professionals will need high levels of both mobility and security, each group of users can have different demands. For example, field service representatives who live on the road need powerful mobility solutions, while accounting and compliance managers who rarely travel require high levels of security to protect sensitive corporate information.
Employees want increased flexibility to work anywhere. And organizations need to meet these needs to remain competitive, gain and retain the best people, and meet user expectations for rapid response time. Developing and deploying mobile deployment security policies and enforcing across the enterprise demands a best- practices approach to mobile security.
