The choice of mobile OS determines all hardware, applications, support, capacity jailbreak, expandabilty and accessories - all discreetly impact the company's management, support, privacy and security. The safety functions are either inherent in the mobile OS or executed by measures and policies controlled by the mobile operating system. This means that the appropriate configuration and maintainence of the security functions of the mobile operating system is imperitive to protect both the company and the individual. In addition, innovative uses of mobile technology, such as tablets in the boardroom push the boundaries of secure mobile experience -. And screaming for security innovation
In this next Synergy session, we examine three major mobile OS platforms, security issues and the characteristics of each, and orientation of the business for making it easy for users of the mobile operating system do the right things to protect privacy and security.
session Sneak Preview:
Android powered devices allow a wide variety of hardware manufacturers to offer a wide variety of differentiated similar devices. As an open platform with roots in the open source software, Android has become a key operating system in the quest for increased mobility. Features and benefits that are targeted to both consumers and businesses make Android an attractive choice for individuals and organizations, but organizations should ensure that specific measures are in place to ensure the security and confidentiality of information the company. Although the characteristics of the device and the security of the operating system continue to impress, OS version fragmentation issues and a lack of upgrading capacity on the controlled support devices continue to be problematic for the Android security.
iOS-based mobile devices from Apple, such as the iPhone and iPad, have been marketed as consumer devices, but found themselves at home in many companies for worker mobility. The proprietary operating system iOS is tightly controlled, resulting in a consistent experience across applications and devices. In addition, iOS has a broad ecosystem of hardware and software that tightly integrates with Apple devices. Apple raises the bar for user experience, consistency and overall control equipment applications. The "walled garden" approach to security reduces vulnerability, but simultaneously limits the traditional enterprise security options.
Windows Microsoft mobility solutions include telephone and Windows operating systems area. These systems promise the greatest compability with Microsoft environments, including the Office suite of applications. With advanced built-in security that includes secure startup, BitLocker encryption device, anti-malware, firewall and rights management information, Windows Phone and Surface have a solid security foundation. Legacy Windows security technologies are also well understood and managed by most IT departments. Windows Mobile platforms relatively newly refreshed have had limited adoption - but can become a favorite of computer security
