Securing smart phones and tablets (iPhone, iPad, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android)
Do you know where all of your mobile devices are? The prospect of managing hundreds or even thousands of mobile devices can be enough to cause even seasoned IT administrators a few anxious moments. But it is possible to effectively manage your organization's mobile devices, you just need the right tools.
The phrase ‘consumerization’ has only recently entered our vocabulary, and with this new phrase comes a whole new can of worms. With the adoption of personal device usage into the business landscape, the typical IT manager is faced with the issues of securing the data, allowing usage whilst not offending the owner of the device.

We chose Excitor as it allowed Blackberry type security controls to be enforced on device that don’t lend themselves very well to business security. Thus devices such iPhones, iPads, and other smart phones and tablets such as Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian mobile devices are chosen for the workplace can also be secured, just some of the key features include:
Strong encryption both for data at rest on the device and during transit.
Device - to- Network Authentication.
User - to - Device Authentication.
Centrally managed security policies of devices (device timeout, password length, complexity, access roles, data retention limits)
Remote wipe, and wipe if tampered
A very impressive feature was one of securing a particular part of the device where a secure silo is created on the device allowing business and personal information to be separated, this works well where staff who own and prefer a device (I-phone for example) and don’t want to carry a separate business phone such as blackberry. The IT dept. can provision a silo on the I-phone for business email access that is separate to the user’s personal email, the data is kept separate along with specific security policies that are managed by the IT dept. just for the Silo. This makes it really clean when for instance a Staff member leaves the business, as it is only the Silo and its content that is remotely wiped leaving the personal data intact!
