Managing Mobile Devices - Bring your own device

Mobile devices are changing the way many enterprises work, receive information, and remain competitive. The challenge is that the range of devices is growing as well as the number of individuals using personal devices for professional use. This poses a security and deployment issue for many organizations as they try to manage these mobile devices.

Managing mobile devices is increasingly complex and challenging. Organizations have traditionally supported BlackBerry devices with limited range outside of that. However, use of other devices, including the explosion of enterprise use of iPhone and iPad, means that organizations must identify ways to manage the whole environment. The other issue is that employees are using personal mobile devices, which causes information security concerns and vulnerabilities for many businesses.

During this seminar, we have presented an overview of mobile device management and security best practices. An integrated approach to mobile security including company security policies, training, and a mobile device management solution is critical for all enterprises. This will better enable IT staff to manage their deployed mobile devices, in-house apps, collect data points, as well as ensure overall fleet/device security.

In april 2011, Gartner published its Magic Quadrant for Mobile Device Management Software platforms. Some of the represented vendors have been asked to present their perspectives. But as usual, we won’t be limiting ourselves to the analysis of Gartner alone and let you decide for yourself which qualifyers need to be addressed in this extremely dynamic and fast evolving domain.
We’ve also included some system integrators, to present their experiences and perspectives of some of the various market players.

Finally, attendees were able to make an informed decision about managing mobile assets and information assets transported wirelessly.

12.30h : networking lunch

13.30h : Managing security at all levels for all smart phones, by Fabrice Hatteville, Thales

The fast growth of the smart phone and tablet markets, both in terms of sold units and in terms of technical possibilities, has brought a number of new challenges to the companies.  On one side, professional users tend to use their smart devices for both their professional and private needs, resulting in a mix a sensitive and non sensitive data on a single device.  On the other side, the flexibility of these devices and the rich possibilities they offer in terms of applications, connectivity, ... make them a target of choice for potential attacks by viruses or others.  At the same time, the large variety of brands and models makes it difficult for ICT managers and security managers to follow on technological trends and to anticipate on threats.
There is thus a need for companies to put in place a flexible system allowing at the same time to give access to the company’s standard tools for operational needs, to ensure secure communication between the employees’ smart phones / tablets and the sensitive data in the company’s system and to protect the company’s assets from potential threats coming from private activity on the employee’s device.  This all while maintaining a user friendly and simple-to-use interface. An insight on how these issues can be solved and which solutions exist will be given.
