Mobility trends in Small to Medium Enterprises
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are moving to incorporate consumer-oriented mobile hardware and software into their business operations. These tablets, smartphones and ultrabooks (slimline notebooks) can give staff members the tools to work more productively anywhere, with anytime access to critical information that can improve customer service and avoid bottlenecks in business processes. But SME IT managers express concerns about data security and device management, two areas where technologies and policies are still evolving to fully meet today’s business needs.
Multipronged Security
The rise of ubiquitous mobile applications presents SMEs with a range of new security threats. These range from all-too-familiar breaches caused by virus and malware infections to unauthorized access to sensitive information after a mobile device is lost or stolen.
The rise of ubiquitous mobile applications presents SMEs with a range of new security threats. These range from all-too-familiar breaches caused by virus and malware infections to unauthorized access to sensitive information after a mobile device is lost or stolen.
To guard against mobile threats, IT administrators need a combination of internal security policies and technologies that can protect information whether it is stored on devices or in transit between mobile workers and a company’s data centre. Here are some key components to consider:
- Security expertise. Few SMEs have the internal resources needed to create, monitor and maintain a secure environ¬ment for mobile applications. NewBase offers solutions that provide device monitoring, management and security consulting help.
- Intrusion protection. To keep unauthorized users from gaining access to internal company resources, intrusion protec¬tion services, available from NewBase, provide network monitoring and threat-response services.
- Endpoint security. Security management services for end-point devices use specialized software that scans for and addresses potential threats from malware. In addition, appliances provided by NewBase as part of our infrastructure monitoring solution, monitor network access and enforce security policies.
- Data encryption. The ability to scramble information to make it unreadable to unauthorized users protects sensitive data stored on devices or when it is flowing across the network.
No single technology can protect against every vulnerability, but a multipronged approach will help SMEs reap the reward of mobile solutions while mitigating the risks.
NewBase is accredited under the international ISO 270001 Security standard and our Managed Services solutions comply to the requirements of this standard.
