Mobile Device Management -Is your Data at Risk?

There is a growing demand for employees to be able to use their own mobile devices in the workplace, but how can IT departments cope? Tablets are now outselling PC’s and if a company wants to keep up with the latest technology they need the right tools to do this easily without compromising on security.

Security is of paramount importance. The financial implications of your data getting into the wrong hands can be severe and the actual fines are quite astonishing. Examples of the latest ICO fines can be found here.

Do you know if any of your employees are wandering around with your unsecured corporate data? It may well be time to find out!

Many Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions offer simple mobile device management capabilities which can integrate with existing IT systems, but they are often not as secure as you think they are. Others offer increased security but you have to purchase unnecessary hardware increasing cost and incorporating unnecessary steps. We offer Excitor’s DME solution which combats the issues above. It is a simple solution that is easy to integrate, manage and maintain, and most of all – which is completely secure. With DME you can access corporate email, calendar, contacts, to-do lists and even corporate applications such as SharePoint securely, from wherever you are on your mobile device, and without interfering with any personal data you have. More information about DME can be found here.

We are currently working with many public and private sector organisations across the UK to tackle the issues surrounding Mobile Device Management, BYOD (Bring your Own Device) and maintaining data security. We are also running a series of free, interactive seminars this Autumn/Winter which allow businesses to explore the key issues around BYOD and Mobile Device Management.
