Mobile device management provides security, visibility, and control for organizations using mobile devices. Without proper management, mobile devices face challenges including limited security, inconsistent connectivity, and a lack of centralized visibility and control for IT. Effective device management is needed to overcome these challenges, protect sensitive data, enforce compliance with regulations, and maximize the benefits of an organization's mobile workforce.
Microsoft Intune provides mobile device management (MDM) capabilities for Office 365. It allows organizations to enroll mobile devices used by employees and set policies to control access to corporate resources. Intune integrates with Azure Active Directory and Office 365 to enable features like conditional access control, selective wiping of Office 365 data from devices while leaving personal data intact, and reporting on device compliance. It also provides broader mobile application management and mobile PC management capabilities through integration with System Center Configuration Manager.

Mobile Device Management (MDM) is a security application used by IT departments to monitor, manage, and secure employees' mobile devices. MDM solutions allow IT to deploy applications and settings to devices remotely, secure devices by blocking rogue apps and malware, locate lost devices, and audit device usage. The use of mobile devices in businesses is increasing rapidly, with forecasts of smartphone manufacturing doubling between 2011 and 2013, and the percentage of employees using company-provided smartphones rising from 28% in 2011 to 33% in 2012. As more employees use their own devices for work as well, MDM solutions help businesses reduce costs and security risks associated with mobile devices.
The explosive growth in the popularity of mobile devices and growth in their powerful features has led to a sharp rise in the usage of smartphones, tablets and mobile POS devices in the corporate world. Apart from the mobility advantage, these devices have become more efficient to offer better business growth and increased networking advantage to bring better employee productivity at the workplace. As the market for these devices continues to develop at an exponential rate, concerns about the safety of the sensitive corporate data present on mobile device, in transit or at rest also grow proportionately as the tracking the data, relying on its integrity becomes increasingly challenging. Further enforcing corporate governance, complying with local laws and trans-border regulations also pose a serious challenge in this case. Hence a technical method to secure, monitor, manage and supports mobile devices deployed across mobile operators, service providers and enterprises is need of the hour which has led to the development of Mobile Device Management(MDM).
A strategic view of mobile device managementJason Murray
This document discusses best practices for developing a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy and mobile device management (MDM) strategy. It recommends deciding which mobile operating systems and corporate resources will be accessible, developing clear use policies and security controls, educating users, and selecting an MDM platform to enforce policies.

El teléfono celular como recurso didáctico eneldalg
¿Es el teléfono celular, un medio para lograr el aprendizaje dentro del aula?, sin duda es un tema muy debatido que en el presente trabajo se trata de abordar de una manera clara y concisa.
How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends:
Exposing the device to a management framework
Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic
Exposing that business layer and data to end users.
This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles between cloud, APIs and native hardware/software configurations.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

management
D id you know that up to 70 per cent of enterprise
data exists in various frontline settings, from
laptops to handheld devices, to shop and remote office
environments? That’s quite a statistic!
Your mobile staff might be employed for a variety
of skills – to treat patients, dig up roads, repair
malfunctioning equipment, or sell a product. They’re
rarely IT savvy and certainly not security experts.
Yet more than 75 per cent of enterprises leave
responsibility for security in the hands of the user –
literally.

Mobile management and security are totally inter-
dependent. An unsupported, unmanaged ‘secure’
system is invariably vulnerable the moment it leaves its
cradle!
12. 04_694725 ch01.qxp 3/28/08 2:48 PM Page 7

Mobile security is the need to control user access and
protect your data on the device and storage, in transit,
and if lost or stolen.
Without the appropriate security, mobile devices are
extremely vulnerable to security gaps. As a result, the
risk of intrusion is high and security controls are
inconsistent at best and often unenforceable. Whether
it’s hackers, viruses, corrupted data, or lost or stolen
devices, there’s plenty to be concerned about.
Additionally, regulations regarding data privacy and
encryption are becoming stricter and can even result in
fines for noncompliance. IT and security experts must
manage and protect sensitive information and enforce
compliance centrally, rather than leaving the burden of
security to the mobile device end-user.
Security will always be an issue – and the risk
is even greater at the frontlines, on mobile
devices.
User adoption
We all do whatever makes it easier for us to do our
jobs. Your mobile workers are no different. Over the
years, your office-based systems will have been honed
by adopting best practices, and you’ll face a challenge
in asking your staff to abandon what they know and are
comfortable with.
Introducing new systems for frontline workers always
carries a risk that unless they see the benefits for
themselves and ‘buy in’ to the systems, users will
revert to their previous ways of working.
13. 04_694725 ch01.qxp 3/28/08 2:48 PM Page 8

You need to ensure that electronic applications are
intuitive and easier to use than the paper systems they
replace. Ensure devices won’t fail just when your
workers need them most.
Engage your mobile workers early, train and
listen to them, and they’ll make the
deployment a success!
Central visibility for IT
Central IT needs to see activity levels and user
methodology in order to anticipate issues and
continuously improve the system.
Being able to see what’s actually going on at the
frontlines is critical to success. Your IT folk need to
know what activities are happening, and why, in order
to make better decisions.
If your workers aren’t utilising the systems you’ve
deployed in the way you expected, you need to know
why.
Control
Rather than trying to accommodate disparate systems
and processes, you need to drive the project centrally
to keep control.
You want to have mobile deployments linked for
effective data sharing so your frontline workers have
the information they need, when they need it, and so
that the information they gather is automatically
processed to everyone who requires it.

Food for thought
If you’re not convinced about the benefits of mobile device
management, here are some stats to chew over:
ߜ Industry analysts rate ‘mobile workforce enablement’ and
‘security’ among the top enterprise IT priorities.
ߜ It’s estimated that over 300,000 mobile devices are lost or
stolen in the US. In the UK, it’s been reported that over 100
devices a month are lost at Heathrow Airport alone.
ߜ Effectively mobilising existing paper-based systems almost
always delivers significant business benefits. Numerous
organisations have achieved improved conversion of
prospects into active customers – by as much as 15
per cent.
ߜ Effective device management can also bring communica-
tions costs under control, sometimes delivering as much
as 60 per cent savings.
Each disparate system brings its own challenges. You
might have a variety of devices with different user
needs, connecting over significantly varying bandwidth,
and they’re often beyond direct, onsite IT support.
Having a management solution that gives you
control over multiple devices and platforms,
multiple user groups, and multiple processes
is critical.
15. 04_694725 ch01.qxp 3/28/08 2:48 PM Page 10

Business processes need to be consistently applied,
and – as requirements change – executive leadership
needs to be able to consistently drive changes to
processes, actions, and behaviours.
Considering Why Enterprises
Need Frontline Management
You may have already started venturing down the
mobility path and have deployed devices and an
application for a team within your organisation.
However, without effective management, device
reliability varies, applications aren’t supported as well
as those in the office, communication costs fluctuate,
and security threats are significantly increased.
Effective mobile device management gives you secure
control over your mobile data, devices, and applications,
while giving your frontline workers the freedom to
perform the job they were hired for, not struggle with
technology.
Mobile workers are imperative to an
organisation’s success. Laptops and handheld
devices that support workers at the frontlines
are proliferating throughout corporations. With
a mobile workforce comes the widespread
distribution of sensitive, proprietary, and
sometimes downright top-secret data outside
the secure walls of HQ. It’s critical for the
success of a mobile deployment to put
measures in place to control and protect
mobile assets. By implementing a solution that
16. 04_694725 ch01.qxp 3/28/08 2:48 PM Page 11
11
proactively manages and secures mobile data,
devices, and applications, mobile projects can
improve efficiency, customer service, and –
ultimately – profitability.
The need for mobile systems management is growing –
fast!

In This Part
ᮣ Thinking about what makes a great MDM solution
ᮣ Seeing how Afaria fits the bill
M aintaining the reliability and security of data and
devices at the frontlines can be very challenging.
These environments are diverse, complex, and often
beyond direct, onsite IT control. IT must be able to
proactively manage all the devices, applications, data,
and communications critical to the success of mobile
workers.
Organisations need to take a centralised approach to
management and security, providing IT with the control
and visibility they need, while empowering mobile
workers to be successful with the information and
applications they need to do their jobs.
This part explains exactly what to look for in a mobile
device management solution.

Defining the Elements of a
Great Management Solution
It’s time to think carefully about the components of a
really effective management solution. This section
explores the elements you need – that Afaria provides.
Naturally, you need mobile data and device security,
but this subject is so important that Part III is
dedicated to it.
Cross-platform device support
A good mobile device management solution supports
a wide variety of client types – such as Symbian,
Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Palm, and Windows XP –
from a single web-based console. Your initial
deployment may just be for a team of engineers all
using the same tablet PCs, but you also need to plan
for the future deployment of executive PDAs and
smartphones, maybe some older Palm devices in the
warehouse, or the sales team’s laptops. Plan now for
every platform you have in your enterprise today – and
for the new platforms continually emerging!
Configuration management
Central control of mobile devices enables
administrators to maintain a wide range of software
and hardware settings including device identification,
network settings, connection profiles, regional settings,
and alerts. The settings are continually checked against
centrally defined configurations and reset whenever
necessary.
20. 05_694725 ch02.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 15
15
Protecting the insurers
A market-leading insurance provider needed to protect sen-
sitive customer financial and medical information residing on
the computers owned by 3,500 independent agents. Sybase
iAnywhere’s laptop hard disk encryption, software distribution,
device management, and stolen device lockdown dramatically
improved the ability to implement, monitor, and enforce strin-
gent data security policies. The company’s reputation as an
industry leader in information security was enhanced and cus-
tomer service improved by having the most up-to-date infor-
mation on agents’ laptops.
Device monitoring
Effective mobile device management enables the user to
work offline, instead of being constantly reliant on a
connection to HQ. A high-quality device management
solution reacts to changes in the state of a device –
monitoring memory, files, folders, and registry settings
for changes – and can trigger processes such as backing
up a device when the battery level drops or launching a
particular application when a user signs on.
Monitoring also tracks application installation
and usage policies through logging and
reporting capabilities and can track when
confidential files on mobile devices are written
to external cards or sent to other devices.
21. 05_694725 ch02.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 16
16
License control
A valuable component of a mobile device management
solution is tracking how software licenses are deployed
and used. Automatically generated reports include
information about the last time an application was
accessed.
Software distribution
Applications can be electronically distributed, installed,
and maintained – and all without the end-users’
knowledge or involvement. Central administration
controls software installations, including version
management, rollback, and criteria checking.
Inventory and asset control
Administrators can perform comprehensive inventory
scans of hardware and software, automatically
receiving alerts of changes. A prime example is help
desk personnel quickly capturing the state of a device
to hasten the fixing of any problems.
Remote control
Laptop or handheld device systems are remotely
controlled to diagnose and correct faults, enabling
mobile workers to focus on their jobs, not their IT
systems.
Connection management
A strong MDM solution uses an intelligent architecture
design that optimises the ability to make the appropriate
decisions about which tools to use when managing a
frontline deployment. Additionally, connection
management functions are fully deployable over-the-air,
22. 05_694725 ch02.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 17
17
Getting the medical database fit and well
A leading medical database management organisation needed
a solution to better manage data retransmitted by business
services. With Sybase iAnywhere technology, its staff can
update software and remotely diagnose laptop computers
out in the field, eliminating the time-consuming method of
physically shipping computers back to headquarters to be
updated or repaired. This significantly reduces time spent on
back-office tasks and improves productivity.
eliminating the need for remote devices to be manually
configured by IT.
Scheduling and prioritisation
Comprehensive scheduling enables work to be
completed at the most efficient times, and
prioritisation of different tasks ensures quick
completion of the most important activities. System
administrators control the content, timing, parameters,
and method of communication.
Bandwidth optimisation
Comprehensive bandwidth management supports
applications across all network types. On-the-fly data
compression, restarting connections at the point of
interruption, file segmentation, and file-level and byte-
level differencing minimise data volume for both large
and small transfers.
23. 05_694725 ch02.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 18
18
Protecting corporate security
With more than 25,000 mobile workers, a leading global finan-
cial services company wanted to enforce corporate security
and perform inventory control on thousands of newly deployed
handheld devices. It turned to Sybase iAnywhere technology
to secure information when devices are lost or stolen, provide
proactive technical support by contacting users with solutions
to potential problems, and increase productivity because
employees are always connected. A spokesperson said: ‘Even
when a device was out of coverage, the Sybase iAnywhere
software gave us the audit trail to ensure that the device was
password protected.’
Dynamic Bandwidth Throttling releases bandwidth to
other applications when activity levels increase and
then reclaims it when they grow idle. Combining the
ability to dynamically react to throughput conditions,
dynamically change throttling schemes, and dynamically
configure and monitor these schemes provides you with
a powerful means to reduce costs and minimise your
end-user pain. Clever stuff.
Software and inventory management
A leading mobile device management solution provides
visibility into frontline devices so IT know exactly what
devices are deployed, where they’re located, and
what software is installed. This provides IT with the
ability to better manage and control future software
deployments.
24. 05_694725 ch02.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 19

Speeding up fast food
A fast food chain of 1,300 restaurants needed to improve its
remote PC management capabilities, specifically sending and
receiving large files over the course of several transmissions,
with the ability to re-start a file transmission without the entire
file having to be re-sent. It wanted specific stores to connect
at specified times, silent software installations, inventory
monitoring, and security patches applied throughout its estate.
Using Sybase iAnywhere software, the chain improved bi-
directional communication – both scheduled and ad hoc –
significantly improving patch management, and simplifying IT
infrastructure. Transmission of daily reports has been reduced
from 45 minutes to seconds, leaving store operators now able
to focus more time on running their restaurants!
Application support
Significant management capabilities can be added to
third-party or custom applications such as initial
deployment, updating, and continual over-the-air
maintenance. This functionality can even be fully
integrated into your application via published APIs.
Document and content distribution
A good mobile device management solution goes
beyond device management and gives IT the ability to
control applications and data too. Document files are
securely delivered to frontline workers using a forced
or subscription model. Document owners have control
over content and can easily add, delete, and update
25. 05_694725 ch02.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 20
20
content so that out-of-date documents in the field are
automatically replaced.
File-based information can be updated from any source
and format, including HTML, database files, documents,
and other electronic content. Technologies such as
byte-level differencing, which means replacing or
updating a segment of a file (rather than the entire file),
can deliver significant savings.
Process automation
Important tasks can be personalised and automated to
make them faster and easier for the IT administrator
and user.
Wizard-driven point-and-click scripting allows infinitely
customisable activities on server or client systems,
automating tasks and removing onerous responsibility
from mobile workers. These processes can be scheduled
or initiated manually, or they can be triggered by the
monitoring of a third-party application.
Scripting delivers numerous possibilities: file transfers,
hard disk checks and changes, configuration changes,
and even ‘IF/THEN’ logic processes for complex
tasking.
System management extensions
Within the confines of HQ, systems management is a
relatively routine task. However, this task becomes
complicated with remote devices because these
devices aren’t always connected to the network. A
top-notch mobile device management system simplifies
these routine management tasks by enabling regular
monitoring of devices to ensure compliance with
corporate policies.
26. 05_694725 ch02.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 21

Saving time and money
A large broadband communications company with over 3,500
field service representatives increased mobile worker and IT
productivity, reduced repair time, and reaped about $500,000 in
annual savings – much attributable to automated device man-
agement and application updates through Sybase iAnywhere
technology.
Support for Microsoft SMS and other
LAN systems management tools
A comprehensive MDM solution is Microsoft .Net-based
and you can integrate it with LAN-based systems
management tools (such as Microsoft SMS) to expand
the range of devices that can be managed from the
console. You can use it to manage all the latest
Windows platforms, as well as extend management of
other existing mobile operating systems including RIM,
Palm, Symbian, and Windows handheld devices.

Under Lock and Key:
Enforcing Security
In This Part
ᮣ Thinking about your security needs
ᮣ Reading case studies
L aptops, handheld devices, and other mobile
devices are, by their very nature, easy to lose and
rarely within the grasp of your IT department. They’re
usually loaded with sensitive customer information,
the risk of intrusion is high, and security controls are
often inconsistent or non-existent. Mobile devices
represent one of the most challenging battlegrounds
in your campaign against data loss and theft.
You employ your mobile workers for a variety of skills –
to sell, fix, treat things, and so on. They’re not always
comfortable with IT and certainly not security experts.
Yet, more than 75 per cent of enterprises leave
responsibility for security in the hands of the user.
This part delves into the security issues and, more
importantly, the solutions you need to consider.

Safe as Houses: Considering
Your Requirements
When thinking about security, remember that security
is three-pronged and includes:
ߜ Availability: Systems work promptly and service
isn’t denied to authorised users.
ߜ Integrity: Data isn’t changed in an unauthorised
manner and the system itself isn’t manipulated.
ߜ Confidentiality: Information isn’t disclosed to
unauthorised individuals during storage,
processing, or in transit.
Consider the relevance of the following list when
developing the policies for your organisation:
ߜ Protection for small, easily lost devices carrying
sensitive information, rarely under the direct
control of IT tech support.
ߜ Centralised control from a single console over all
your devices and user groups – whatever the
device type, platform, or location.
ߜ Security policies that meet legislative regulations.
ߜ Reliable user authentication to control access to
the device and subsequently your corporate data
store.
ߜ Protection for the data during transit and when
it’s stored on the device – whatever the platform
or device type.
30. 06_694725 ch03.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 25
25
ߜ The ability to protect the device even if you can’t
communicate with it, utilising data fading or
‘kill-pill’ functionality.
ߜ Future-proof solutions for new platforms and
emerging threats.
Stating the Requirements of
Your Security Solution
An effective mobile security solution, like Afaria,
combines security and systems management
functionality from a single console. IT can transparently
manage security requirements centrally, while
supporting the application and device as if the mobile
worker were attached to the office LAN. All necessary
tasks can occur during a single connection.
Seek a security solution that delivers the following
functionality.
Password protection
Password protection is the first step toward securing
data on mobile devices. You need a solution that offers
the ability to centrally define, control, and enforce end-
user password policies.
It’s handy for central IT to be able to remotely
retrieve the password if your mobile worker
forgets it. But if it’s an unauthorised attack,
you need power-on password enforcement,
requiring a user to enter a password each time
the device is turned on. If your pre-determined
threshold of failed attempts is breached,
31. 06_694725 ch03.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 26
26
device lock-down policies automatically reset
the device or delete specified or encrypted
data.
On-device data encryption
Data on devices and removable storage must be
encrypted and decrypted with minimal user
inconvenience. In the case of a lost or stolen device,
data is protected through strong encryption and other
device disabling policies. Through the management
console, you can select what data to encrypt and when.
You can also encrypt removable storage media, such as
compact flash cards and SD cards. Full-disk encryption
protects the hard drives of laptops and tablet PCs,
where the entire hard disk is encrypted, not just the
May the force be strong!
A police force needed a single solution that would send up-
to-date information wirelessly through the network to
laptops fitted within its patrol cars. It chose Sybase iAnywhere
because it had so many features above and beyond what other
providers offered: document management, hardware man-
agement, software management, and a script-writing feature.
The wireless solution automatically starts working every time
a patrol car enters the coverage area – updating information
and software in 30 to 60 seconds, marking and restarting the
update if the car leaves the coverage area before the down-
load is complete. HQ is able to send out large files to the cars
including wanted posters, missing persons information, crime
statistics – and is able to update those files automatically.
32. 06_694725 ch03.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 27

Following the five-point plan to security
Remember the five key elements of enterprise mobile security:
ߜ Set and centrally enforce your policies
ߜ Authenticate the user
ߜ Protect the data during transit and when it’s stored on the
device
ߜ Secure your data if the device is lost or stolen
ߜ Don’t rely on your mobile workers for security!
user data. This is a more secure approach and doesn’t
require the user to make judgements about what files
to encrypt.
Data-fading
Data-fading is the capability for an IT administrator to
automatically lock, wipe, or reset a device that hasn’t
communicated with the corporate email or management
server after a predetermined number of days, in case a
device is lost or stolen. Similar protection can be
initiated by sending a kill-pill to the device: a message
‘pinged’ to the device by the system administrator that
immediately initiates data deletion or device reset.
Over-the-air data encryption
Over-the-air encryption ensures data is protected
between the device and data centre. This also helps
ensure that you comply with any enforced security
legislation.

Helping an electricity provider shine brighter
An electricity provider needed a solution to manage its field-
force asset inspection team. Previously, this field collection
was completed in different regions using either paper or
knowledge-based systems. Going mobile, utilising Sybase
iAnywhere technology, enables distribution of work orders to
inspectors in the field to capture and synchronise the asset
information back to head office, automates previously manual
processes, and provides secure data transfer between head
office and field inspectors. More importantly, it increases flex-
ibility for the field inspection team, giving them GPS location
information for each asset and a full maintenance history – at
their fingertips!
Patch management
Patches are automatically downloaded and deployed
appropriately on an individual or group basis. Usually
detailed logs and reports are kept to show the current
patch levels and the protection levels employed.
The Security Checklist
Consider the following security measures in this handy
checklist when you’re planning a mobile security
deployment:
ߜ Secure the device:
• Enforce strong power-on password protection
that users can’t bypass or turn off.
34. 06_694725 ch03.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 29
29
• Remotely lock devices that are lost or stolen.
• Proactively wipe data from devices when you
need to.
• Reprovision devices in the field (automatically
configuring devices for new usage, or building a
new device with the configuration, applications,
data, and security policies of a lost device it
replaces).
• Encrypt sensitive data stored on mobile devices.
• Manage, distribute, and install security patches
transparently via an administrator.
• Regularly back up key data from mobile
devices to the corporate network.
• Inform users about the importance of and the
means of protecting their information.
ߜ Guard against malicious code:
• Distribute and install antivirus updates
and software patches immediately and
transparently.
• Prepare to tackle future threats – such as the
increase in viruses that target handheld
devices.
• Monitor and enforce system and application
settings each time a device connects to
the LAN, keeping track of who’s accessed
information.
• Block unprotected devices from accessing
corporate systems such as email.
35. 06_694725 ch03.qxp 3/28/08 2:49 PM Page 30
30
• Retrieve client-scan log files to analyse who’s
accessing data and applications on the
frontlines.
ߜ Secure connections to corporate networks:
• Authenticate users and devices during each
connection to the corporate network.
• Encrypt data to ensure safe transfer over the
network.
• Automate an inspection that verifies
compliance with security standards for
antivirus software, patch levels, and personal
firewall settings before allowing a connection.
ߜ Block network-based intrusion:
• Distribute, install, and maintain personal
firewalls transparently via an administrator.
• Enforce software settings.
• Monitor intrusion attempts at every
connection from the frontlines and block
unauthorised access or unprotected devices.
• Use exception reporting and alerts via an
administrator to identify and correct network
weak points to limit intrusion.
ߜ Centralise control of policies and corporate
directories:
• Implement centrally managed security policies
complete with established written policies.
• Audit security policies and ensure that they’re
enforced by consistent reporting.

The PDA prescription
A leading hospital delivering care to nearly 700,000 patients
every year deployed handheld devices to much of its medical
staff. They selected Sybase iAnywhere technology to ensure
that the most accurate information and applications are avail-
able to their users. The data transfer process is so easy and
quick that the users can stay up-to-date all the time. Their IT
department uses the technology to know who has which
device, which software is licensed to each device, and how
much memory remains. One of the great benefits of these
features is that the IT department can keep track of inventory
and can diagnose and treat IT problems. By examining logs
via a web browser, helpdesk personnel can proactively
troubleshoot a variety of problems.

Looking to the Future
In This Part
ᮣ Seeking multiple components from a single vendor
ᮣ Guarding against handheld virus attacks
E specially in the ‘mobile’ space, technology changes
faster than you can deploy! In this part we peer
into the crystal ball at what you’re likely to need to
consider in the near future.
Integrating Mobile Deployment
Components
As mobility becomes adopted more strategically
in the future, organisations will seek to have more
components from a single vendor. Having integrated
components – such as management + security; security
+ email; email + messaging; application + messaging +
management – reduces the risk of technological
conflicts, not to mention the challenge of working with
multiple contracts and multiple vendors when you just
want your system to work.

Afaria, from Sybase iAnywhere, is part of the
Information Anywhere Suite, a secure, scalable mobile
device platform that addresses these converging IT
requirements. By combining mobile email,
collaboration, device management, enterprise-to-edge
security, and back-office application extension, the
Information Anywhere Suite enables your organisation
to empower employees to do their work anywhere, at
any time, on any device.
MAGnificent Multichannel
Access Gateways
Currently, mobile deployments consist of a mix of
mobile solutions from multiple vendors – each with
separate software stacks for data transport. This leads
to direct conflicts with network connections, as well as
battery drain, complexities with testing, higher support
costs, and an inability to effectively secure or manage
your systems.
IT staff are moving towards combining the currently
clashing data transport communications within a single
access gateway called a multichannel access gateway
(MAG).
Make sure that your mobile management and
security solution is capable of communicating
within your multichannel access gateway.

Keeping Up with a
Changing World
New devices and even new platforms constantly
challenge corporate IT. As soon you try to standardise
on a device or platform, it’s out of date, or your staff
demand support for their own shiny gadgets!
The line between personal and work devices is
becoming increasingly indistinct. There’s a mix of
enterprise operating systems and devices, with no
single clear winner. And suddenly an emerging class
of consumer devices will make their way into the
enterprise.
You need to select a vendor who’s committed to
supporting the entire mixed device needs of your
company – not just a sub-set.
Avoiding Viruses
Like the Plague
Viruses are predominantly the curse of the laptop and
desktop world, but handheld virus attacks are
becoming increasingly prevalent since the first PDA
virus was reported way back in 2004. As the devices
become more popular, expect threats to your business
to increase too! Choose a management and security
solution that counters this risk.

Hotting things up for the fire brigade
One of the largest fire brigades in Europe selected Sybase
iAnywhere to provide its mobile systems management solu-
tion to update and distribute risk information and building
plans to over 150 fire appliances. The solution ensures all fire
appliances are equipped with an up-to-date plan of all major
risk buildings in their locality, to facilitate a fast and efficient
emergency service, as well as to satisfy regulatory legisla-
tion. Probably the most important feature of the deployment is
that it ensures data is standardised throughout the force so
that if an emergency is large enough for more than one sta-
tion to be involved, attending appliances are working from the
same information.

Top Ten Mobile Device
Management Tips
T his part is small but packs a punch! Here are our
top tips for both the systems administrator and the
mobile worker.
For the corporate systems administrator:
ߜ Centrally enforce security policies on mobile
devices. Don’t leave it up to the end-user to turn
on password software, encrypt data, or keep anti-
virus software up-to-date.
ߜ Implement a back-up system to protect corporate
data. Don’t expect mobile workers to back up
their own systems regularly. The back-up system
needs to work even over slow dial-up connections
and be completely unobtrusive to the user.
ߜ Utilise software that enables remote configuration
of all your mobile systems. You can then maintain
browser and security settings centrally.
ߜ Keep an up-to-date hardware and software
inventory along with a back-up of all users’ data.
Doing so helps you get the user up and running
faster if the worst does happen.

ߜ Provide your mobile workers with top levels of
support. Your mobile workers need that support –
they’re on their own and they’re generating
revenue for the business.
For the mobile worker:
ߜ Push your IT people to provide an automatic
back-up system for your data. This relieves you
of the burden of remembering to back up your
system every day.
ߜ Change your passwords regularly. Don’t use
ones that others could easily guess such as your
spouse’s, child’s, or pet’s name.
ߜ Be wary about where you browse on the
Internet. Set your security settings to maximum
within your web browser. Some unscrupulous
websites could be spying on you and your data.
ߜ Be careful about who you open emails from.
Don’t open a message from someone whose name
you don’t recognise, particularly if it has an
attachment.
ߜ Don’t abuse the system by loading software that
could impact its use for your job. Remember that
the system is a tool to help you work efficiently.
