Security Implications of Mobile Access

 

The needs of the business are increasingly towards more flexible ways of working and are pushing organizations to open access to their corporate network to staff on the move. This presentation will look at the security implications associated  with allowing staff and customers access to corporate data sources via lap-tops, PDAs and other mobile devices. It will identify the risks as well as the key security requirements and will illustrate, using real customer examples, some of the practical measures that organizations can take to mitigate against these risks.
