Mobile Security
If a laptop or mobile is lost or stolen, what happens
to your corporate data?
With anytime-anywhere access to information, mobility solutions increase business productivity but help to dissolve the digital border separating enterprise data from the cyber-criminal.
NextiraOne’s multi-layer approach to security addresses mobile devices and infrastructure, implements an efficient management regime and develops specific security policies.
Mobile devices
A mobile device security strategy minimises the risk of losing corporate information when a mobile, laptop or PDA is compromised.
- Password protection
- Data encryption
- Virus protection.
- AV Update
- Remote locking messages
Secure data transmission
Conventional VPNs take advantage of Internet connectivity to provide encryption and authentication, addressing the lack of security on the open Internet. Mobile workers can establish IPSec VPN tunnels from their mobile device to an IPSec gateway using any IP-based connection (such as WLAN or GPRS). The VPN tunnel lets mobile workers connect securely to the corporate network and access internal information and applications.
Application Security
An appropriate DMZ architecture, combined with application firewall, proxy, IDS/IPS technologies and complementary patching and monitoring, will give the highest level of security an application may require.
Management
All mobile devices connected to the corporate network or containing corporate data must be part of a tight and stable security policy. The establishment of a back-up policy and the installation of remote data wiping software are the first steps to a proactive management regime.
NextiraOne has already helped companies in every sector from finance to government by defining and implementing security policies to complement their mobile roll-out.
Specific Security Policies
An appropriate mobility solution depends on the profile of the end-users but must include a rigid policy for lost or stolen mobile devices. By reporting the loss to the proper department and to the carrier for immediate deactivation, corporate data can be wiped or locked using pre-loaded remote wiping and/or disabling software.
