Mobility-as-a-Service: Best practices for managing mobile work

Learn about the inherent risks of the mobile blind spot, best practices for managing a mobile environment, the concept of "Mobility-as-a-Service," and Fiberlink's MaaS360 Platform™.

Businesses today have reached a tipping point where a majority of the workers are mobile, or soon will be. It's time now for a set of best practices and solutions specifically aimed at managing the mobile computing environment.

But while business mobility initiatives enhance productivity and flexibility, they have a few drawbacks as well. Workers often have difficulty connecting to the corporate network or the Internet securely and conveniently.Once they do connect, data downloaded to the notebook hard drive is vulnerable to theft or loss. As soon as the umbilical cord of the LAN cable is disconnected, the mobile PC is subject to haphazard enforcement of policies and procedures. This is the "mobile blind spot."

So how can all of the mobile (and remote) devices that access the corporate network and resources such as Web-based applications be given the same level of attention as the wired world when it comes to connectivity, security, productivity and compliance?
