An Efficient, Intelligent, and Cost-Effective Approach To Mobile Application Security

Mobile devices have permeated the work environment in massive numbers. Wirelessly-enabled laptops, tablets, PDAs, smartphones, and BlackBerry devices are all around us. These devices are now used by front-line field workers in organizations of all sizes to improve operational efficiencies. One of the wireless technology applications that provides the greatest productivity improvements for mobile workforces are mobile forms solutions, which replace traditional clipboards and paper forms. Field workers are now able to enter data in electronic forms and transmit them wirelessly to the office in real time.

Despite its great potential for improving workplace productivity, a wireless solution also faces unique security challenges involving numerous devices, disconnected from the corporate LAN, running different operating systems, being used outside of the control of traditional IT security systems. Security solutions must ensure mobile users are allowed to access data on corporate servers only when authorized, and that corporate data is properly protected both during transmission and while residing on the mobile devices.
