Security Should Accelerate Mobile Adoption, Not Prevent It

Mobile apps are no longer just a tool to improve productivity for employees with company-owned devices. The modern enterprise relies on mobile apps to provide secure access to sensitive data for both employees and “extended enterprise” workers like franchisees, seasonal workers, partners and contractors who all have their own devices. In addition, the most innovative businesses are extending mobility to customers in order to enable highly efficient self-service operating models. Enterprises must also deal with the rise of a new breed of data-hungry IoT devices.

This paper examines how CISOs can ensure security for all of these new access points without inhibiting mobile adoption.
