Large
Enterprise
As enterprises both large and small embrace
the idea of employee mobility their IT groups are acutely
aware of the challenges created when providing the organization
with secure, ubiquitous access to their corporate networks.
Mobility Drivers
While Smartphones and PDAs may be an
employee's most relied upon device to stay connected, for
the IT groups responsible for securing these devices when
one becomes lost or stolen the result can be catastrophic
if a company’s secrets
and their clients' data becomes exposed to the world.
In 2006 Trust Digital purchased ten (10)
different Smartphones on eBay to test our enterprise mobility
management device agent software. Presumably the Smartphones
had been wiped clean by their owners prior to being sold
on eBay, however nearly all the information was resurrected
during this study. In fact 27,000 pages of information – measuring to
a height of approximately eight (8) feet – were available
including:
 |
One company’s plan to win a significant
transportation contract |
 |
Emails about another firm’s payment
for expensive software licenses |
 |
Bank accounts and passwords |
 |
Detailed prescriptions and
receipts for utility payments |
 |
Email proposals for International partnerships |
While many of the Smartphones were owned personally by the
sellers they contained heaps of sensitive corporate information
that underscores the blurring lines between work and home.
In a recently published CIO Magazine survey titled "The
Fifth Annual Global State of Information Security" CIOs
found that "employees" beat out "hackers" as
the most likely source of a security incident.
Securing Your Mobile Workforce
Trust Digital delivers transparent enterprise mobility management
software on mobile devices to protect against fraud, theft,
sabotage, and malicious hacking, helping to reduce corporate
risk and regulatory liability while also providing enterprises
with a centrally managed, policy-based security system that
manages information, tracks peripheral access, and defines
data protection (encryption) requirements.
Ensuring User Compliance
IT groups are well versed in the planning,
implementation, support and the monitoring required to
maintain control of laptop and desktop systems, however
similar controls must be implemented for mobile devices.
Trust Digital provides the most effective enterprise mobility
management platform available to address security compliance
needs for mobility – and
it is fast and easy to implement. Because compliance is an
ongoing process rather than a one-time event, the Trust Digital
enterprise mobility management platform provides a comprehensive
facility to manage, report and enforce security compliance.
