@apstein2
3. 3 Options – COTS, BYO and IoT
70% of IT plan to spend 20% or more of budget on Mobile Apps
@apstein2
4. COTS
Established Ecosystem of online stores
App Developers, funding by leading ODMs
Customization by Enterprise IT
Continuous SDLC
@apstein2
5. BYO – Build your own
Increasingly SaaS with dash of MBaaS
Omnichannel Requests
Native
Web
HTML5
Script
Trade offs based on business size, industry, customer
type and use case
Internal Development vs. Outsourcing (e.g. MSSP)
Mobile App Dev outpacing internal resources, 5x faster
per Gartner and Mobile Ent Advisory Board writings -
scarce resources
@apstein2
6. IoT or really EoT
Embedded Mobility driving innovation in
both existing and net new devices
Industrial
Home
Office
Transportation
Retail
@apstein2
7. Security Gotchas
Apps are primary attack vector in the
Enterprise
Ponemon study – up to $575b USD lost in
2014
3-4x EoT apps vs. Enterprise Apps
Built-in security during SDLC far more
effective
Capturing constant mutations in the wild
not yet mastered by any vendor
A/V, Behavioral, Privacy, Ad Fraud and
App Piracy – Remediation!
