THIS EVENT IS NOW ARCHIVED
By the very fact that they’re on the move, easy to lose, and rarely within the grasp of your IT department - laptops and PDA’s represent one of the most challenging battlefronts in your war against data loss and theft.
Your mobile users are employed for a variety of skills – to treat patients, dig-up roads, repair gas mains or survey graffitti damage etc. They’re rarely IT savvy, and certainly not security experts. Yet today, more than 75% of enterprises leave responsibility for security in the hands of the user.
Mobile devices are increasingly portable, capable and prolific. They’re often crammed full of sensitive customer information. The loss of a device is not only a nuisance for the worker trying to perform his or her duties, it could be a catastrophic breach of your corporate security policies.
This webcast will provide advice and real-life examples so you can protect yourself where your data is most vulnerable – on mobile devices.
