The era of the Mobile Enterprise is here to stay. Mobile penetration is unprecedented: subscribers are growing four times faster than the world’s population. To remain successful, CIOs must continuously investigate, prioritize, fund, adopt, and integrate multiple new technologies to support vital organizational objectives.
Enabling your Enterprise Mobility to tap New Growth OpportunitiesNIIT Technologies
Enterprise Mobility is a powerful tool that promises to bridge the gap between business and IT and truly make IT a business enabler by providing the capability to tap new opportunitie
Enterprise mobility has redefined the use of personal devices in the workplace, but also how companies manage and protect network and data. Indeed, these new practices do not only imply a simple access to the information but also their transfer and use from a Smartphone or a tablet, as well as from a traditional computer. The growing use of tablets, Smartphones, and mobile applications has transformed the way organizations across all sectors exchange information and interact with their employees, partners, customers, and citizens. This new era has only just begun. Mobile technology is evolving rapidly: the challenge is not only to adopt it, but also to adapt to its rapid changes.
Leading IT research firm Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) completed research into the impacts that the pandemic will have on information security:
- How business approach and prioritize security
- Trends in spending and technologies
- How vendors are adjusting their offerings to handle these evolving markets and threats
These slides provide some of results of this research report: “Best Practices for the Enterprise: Information Security and Technology Trends Responding to the Pandemic.”
A critical gap exists between the enterprise mobility vision and
real-world implementations.
Enterprise mobility and trends like bring your own device
(BYOD) aren’t just hot topics of conversation.
According to the over 1,600 IT and security professionals we surveyed, mobility is a top priority for most IT departments.
Unfortunately, there’s a critical gap between the vision these IT leaders have for enterprise mobility and the real-world implementations.
The insights gathered from IT professionals in the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa demonstrate that organisations from around the world share many of the same priorities, challenges and risks.

IT and Security: Better Together Mobility
Modern organizations are expanding
mobility initiatives across virtually every
business function. According to Cisco’s
2015 Mobility Landscape Survey, 72
percent of business leaders believe
mobility is a strategic imperative for their
organization’s success. In fact, in many
businesses today, line-of-business (LoB)
leaders are increasingly funding and
making decisions about mobile applications
and solutions.
But mobile app deployments show
best results when they’re based on a
coordinated, organization-wide mobility
strategy and platform. IT leaders
responsible for mobility can play a central
role in building a coordinated strategy
that helps the business realize more value
from mobile experiences. IT can help the
organization roll out mobility projects faster,
more securely, and at a lower cost.
If you’re going to be an advocate for
mobility in your organization, you need to be
able to communicate with business leaders
about what IT can do for them. You need
to shift the perception of your role as a
responsive manager of technology services.
Instead, you can be a proactive, trusted
advisor who understands their business
objectives and needs and is invested in
their long-term success.
This primer offers some strategies to help
IT communicate the full value of mobility
to key security stakeholders in the
organization. It explains why partnering
with IT is their smartest path to success.

Barriers to Capitalizing on Mobility
With the enormous potential of mobility, most
organizations are seeing huge demand across
multiple business groups for mobile apps and
experiences. But too often, they’re not realizing
the value from these initiatives that they should
be. The biggest culprit: the lack of a coordinated
mobility strategy and platform for the business.
Without a consistent application and in-
frastructure platform for mobile apps and
experiences, you get fragmentation, data
inconsistencies, inefficiencies, and increased
security and compliance risk. Worse, the
business will likely end up with mobile experi-
ences that aren’t well suited to the organiza-
tion or the users—resulting in diminished ROI.
Organizations trying to capitalize on
mobility must contend with security
concerns: Without a centralized identity,
access, compliance, and policy strategy
for mobile devices and apps, LoBs can
introduce significant risk. Device, network,
and app security are all equally important.
Apps must be designed in compliance
with organizational policies. But properly
enforcing a security policy for mobile devices
is a prerequisite for getting on the network
and accessing the application as well.

Seeing the Complete Mobile Landscape
Your organization can accelerate and realize
the full value of mobility. IT can play a central
role by creating a unified, consistent mobility
framework that aligns to the business
priorities of the organization. This should
encompass a high-performance mobile
network infrastructure and app platform.
And it should include network, security,
management, and application delivery
best practices.
A unified mobility strategy helps ensure
that when your business stakeholders
need mobility apps, they can be delivered
as quickly, cost-effectively, and securely
as possible. Those apps can then use an
existing application infrastructure to access
data from ERP, CRM, supply chain systems,
and more. A unified platform also gives your
employees and customers a consistently
good user experience across all the mobile
apps your organization delivers, anywhere,
on any device.

Benefits of a Unified Mobility Strategy
■■ Speed app rollouts through consistent practices for implementing mobile apps and
experiences for all lines of business.
■■ Reduce risk through consistent policy management, verified security enforcement,
and compliance across all devices, locations, and users.
■■ Enable mobile workstyles by delivering secure access to all apps, data, and
communications services on any device, from any location.
■■ Lower costs through a reusable mobility application platform, rather than lines of
business continually building one-off solutions from scratch.
■■ Increase innovation by capitalizing on context-rich mobility data across the
network, the organization, and its customers.

Business Case for Risk and Compliance
Transform Mobile Security from
Defense into Business Enabler
Risk and compliance leaders, such as chief
information security officers (CISOs) and
security operations (SecOps) managers,
are consumed with reducing risk and
protecting the organization against threats.
But they also must create the conditions for
innovation and growth. To do this, they need
to find ways to enable the business across
strategy, policy, compliance, operations, and
crisis management.
From an operational perspective, these
stakeholders need to implement a
sustainable security model that improves
efficiency while maintaining continuous,
up-to-date protection. And they want
to implement a holistic security strategy,
drawing on a comprehensive set of
technologies to guard against new threats.
Security leaders’ main challenges include:
■■ The need to discover attacks faster
■■ Changing business models and
attack vectors
■■ A dynamic threat landscape
■■ The complexity and fragmentation of
security solutions
■■ An increasing attack surface driven by
mobility, cloud and the proliferation of
networked devices
■■ Data privacy and protection
■■ Contending with the spike in the number
of business and collaboration applications,
as well as public mobile apps, public web
services, and tools, that can increase
exposure to threats
■■ The blurring or disappearance of network
boundaries, and the dramatic increase in
data volume

What Can Secure Mobility Do for Your Business?
Mobility provides both an opportunity and a
challenge for security leaders. Organizational
leaders consistently cite security and risk
as the top obstacles to deploying mobility.
But when done right, mobile security can
be an important business enabler. A well-
planned and maintained secure mobility
framework can accelerate adoption of mobile
technologies and allow companies to realize
their benefits faster.
CISOs have legitimate concerns that need
to be addressed. Mobility expands the
traditional security perimeter and attack
surface. It can dramatically increase the
number of endpoints and the amount of
network traffic that must be secured. And
it can intensify demand by workers for
expanded access to corporate assets using
the mobile devices they choose.
Employees’ mobile devices are also prone
to loss and theft. When employees use
unsecured Wi-Fi networks, they can put
sensitive corporate information at risk. And
their mobile devices are at constant risk of
exposure to web-based threats, including
data-stealing malware.
By collaborating with IT on a coordinated,
organization-wide mobility strategy, security
leaders can create the conditions for
successful mobile deployments with minimum
risk. Without strong coordination between
IT and security teams, the organization will
struggle to keep pace with mobility and IT
consumerization trends such as BYOD.
