Mobile security
5 REQUIRE AUTHENTICATION
Without authentication in place a lost mobile device serves as the keys to your kingdom and anyone who finds it can gain entry to everything.
YOUR 2 TEST DEFENCES
You can spend millions on a mobile security system, but how do you know that it works if you never put it to the test? Get third-party experts without prior knowledge to try and break it.
4 CONTROL CONNECTIVITY
Your file servers may be safe and secure behind a firewall, but it’s all for nothing if mobile devices share files on unsecure public Wi-Fi networks or via Bluetooth.
AN 3 MAINTAIN AUDIT TRAIL
Ensure that every point of entry is identified and every action creates a trail which can be clearly followed. You must see the flow of data in order to protect it.
1 ENFORCE MDM POLICY
You can have the best Mobile Device Management policy in the world, but if you don’t monitor, test and enforce it then it’s useless.
