As proud supporters of Fighting Chance, we thoroughly enjoyed attending the annual fundraising dinner last Saturday night. Of course, it’s a great night out for our team, but much more than that, it’s an important opportunity to reflect on what this organisation has achieved over the year, and to think about what more we can do.

In many organisations, the IT department is tasked with enterprise mobility management even though IT skills are not specifically required to manage a great many mobility tasks. Everything from creating a BYOD policy, to ordering and provisioning devices, to configuring smartphones, replacing lost or stolen devices, and managing data expenses is hardly the remit of computer science professionals.

In today’s modern workplaces, enterprise mobility is becoming the new standard. To be productive and get their jobs done, employees expect mobile access to enterprise resources including their email, apps and sensitive business data on tablets and smartphones beyond traditional security controls. Yet, the more you allow your employees to use mobile devices to access corporate resources, the more security risks you face.
