Smartphones are becoming mini computers; therefore you need to make sure that your mini computer’s support is maintained on them. CIO.com published an article that talks about the use of smartphones in the work place and how the security on them is being questioned. Check out the details on IT security below.
While devices such as the iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Android are in most cases welcomed into the corporate world, there’s uncertainty about how to fit them into enterprise IT security practices that have been concerned so long by Microsoft Windows.
“We’re excited about enabling our financial advisers to use [smartphones] in lieu of a traditional laptop,” says Pat Patterson, enterprise information security architect at Raymond James Financial, where employees are clamoring to use smartphone and tablet devices they own as part of their job. But excitement was tempered when the financial services firm, which wants to be able to exert management and security controls over iPhones, for instance, found the software agent it used for that purpose was so cumbersome and had the effect of slowing device use, that employees were complaining that it should be removed.
While it’s still the early days of smartphone security, Raymond James has not found an agent-based approach yet that isn’t cumbersome for its user base.
