Securing Mobile Apps: New Approaches for the BYOD WorldApperian
In this webinar we discussed the future of mobile application security in the enterprise?
Smart phones, tablets and even e-readers are now seen as security problems for an enterprise by some IT organizations. Applying MDM — aka mobile device management — has been the response of IT to handle devices, but this approach is lacking, especially as BYOD (bring your own device) has become the primary source of devices in companies. And, as “apps” have proliferated, the apps and data are becoming the engine of user empowerment and ROI — and risk.
Users are not accepting the restrictions MDM places on their use of the phone, especially when the user actually owns the device. And if the user leaves, IT may wipe the device, personal data and all. Mobile Application Management (MAM) promise a solution that keeps enterprise apps and data separate and secure. Other approaches are coming in the future as well. Virtualization promises that one phone can run two VMs, one personal and one business. There are containers and sandboxed apps. Ultimately, different approaches to application development and management could solve the puzzle of protecting confidential data while keeping individuals productive. What approach will win out?

Three Keys to Building a Secure Mobile Infrastructure in Government EnvironmentsVMware
Companies today have distributed mobile workforces and employees who are connecting to the corporate network via a large number of devices. These employees are located all over the globe, and they need seamless access to their information.
This creates pressure on IT to figure out how to deliver the right business services and data to users, and to deliver these in a way that is efficient, secure and auditable for IT. Moreover, the experience must be productive for users no matter what device they are using to connect from.
Horizon Workspace 1.5 is uniquely positioned to deliver on these objectives.

When it comes to handling their money, consumers are rightly

law (http://www.gsma.com/publicpolicy/privacy-

transaction data falls under the strictest level of
control, since it arguably touches every aspect of a
person’s life, including their health (an area of

Ensuring compliance with these guidelines, and
providing the appropriate level of security and

whole application and supporting infrastructure.

The main thing to understand is that the smartcard

that access to it and the Cardlets running on it, is
protected. In this manner the Secure Element can

customers need?
When a new technology begins to displace an old one, it’s
tempting to use the old terminology to help familiarise people
with the new. Hence the term ‘wallet’ has become rather popular
when referring to mobile money. But what is a ‘wallet’ in digital
terms, and what should it be?
Both O2 and Google have called their mobile money
applications ‘Wallet’ but the two applications are
very different.

pre-pay card – before you can make payments.

for the wallet, and are then rebilled to the relevant

seem like the ideal wallet is one that securely
manages the various payment options at the user’s
disposal but allows each to natively make the
payment when it is selected. This adds convenience
and security, and unifies access to the underlying
hardware required to make NFC payments happen.
In technical terms this means controlling the
download and installation of new payment
applications and their associated Cardlets on the
Secure Element.
One example of such a wallet is the ISIS scheme in
the US (http://www.paywithisis.com).
It is this type of wallet that needs to be taken into
consideration when planning your mobile money
application. Consumers will continue to use
multiple methods of payment, and will expect their
payment applications to make it easy for them to
choose the right option at the right time. Your
application needs to be designed today to be
discoverable and manageable by a standardised
‘Wallet’. As standards for mobile wallets emerge,
you will need to keep pace by updating your app.
