Last night, I read the iPass Mobile Workforce Report. It was interesting and provided me with some insight as to where the smartphone market was headed. Clearly, RIM® and their dominance over the Mobile workforce, is slowly waning. iOS® and Android® usage are on the rise in both the mobile workforce and personal communications. As a result of this, new and creative security measures must be implemented to address additional security flaws that the multitude of smartphone operating systems that are available, will bring.
Companies who specialize in content filtering products should take from this that they need to investigate secure smartphone email clients utilizing the latest in encryption to insure that today’s mobile worker adheres to industry privacy standards and company data protection policy. Companies like MobileIron, based in Mountain View, California, have developed technology to secure the transmission of sensitive company data over mobile devices. MobileIron is one of the highest ranking companies in the Gartner Reports Magic Quadrant for Mobile Device Management Software.
