Enterprise Mobility - the Challenge, the Opportunity and the Approach

By 2014, 60% of global companies are expected to pilot, deploy or expand their BYOD programs (RainKing). As BYOD has become a fixture in the workplace, with 72% of employees clamoring to have their personal devices work-enabled, the IT industry has watched as the familiar “perimeter" model has become untenable. Data is going to more places, and ending up on a wider variety of devices, than ever before. A new model for protecting data has become a necessity. Organizations have tried to do so in a multitude of ways: extending policies to cover mobile devices, monitoring usage, MDM solutions, and even NAC; all have been methods used to try and create the most stable environment for mobile technology. Let Integralis security expert Mike Gabriel explain how to best balance mobile productivity and security in this Security Talks installment.

Why Attend?

1.Discover how your peers are trying to protect mobile data.
2.See how the perimeter is being sculpted (or not) by the IT industry.
3.Find out what the future holds for BYOD in the workplace.

Over the years true MSPs have had to work diligently to differentiate themselves from companies that are at best, not true MSPs and at worst, are shady fly-by-night operators. This is where the Unified Certification Standard or (UCS) for Cloud & Managed Service Providers comes in.

The UCS was created by a team of dedicated MSPs to address the shortfalls of existing standards like ISO 27001, ITIL, CoBIT, SSAE 16, which were never intended for managed services organizations and offered little in the way of consumer protection.

CASE IN POINT: Many MSPs do NOT fail because of technical deficiencies, but due to financial risk. Because of this, customers have very little insight into the service provider's business practices and financial strengths and capabilities.

Attend this webcast and you will hear from real MSP executives on how the UCS certification and audit has helped them to:

- Win new business
- Provide needed transparency to customers
- Achieve compliance objectives
- Quickly develop trust with customers and prospects
- Provide documentation on how those MSPs deliver their services
- And much more...

Both Cloud and Managed Service Providers should attend this webcast and at least begin to follow the standards necessary to achieve managed services and cloud computing excellence.

Doug Turner, CEO of Mantis Technology Group, talks about how his team built Pulse Analytics, a sentiment analysis solution using text analytics tool running on SAP HANA One. Hear how his team strengthened the capabilities of this solution while simplifying their data architecture by replacing 20 servers with only 1 SAP HANA One instance.

Most SMB's use a single point product for each of the different perceived security threats. This has worked in the past, but a far better approach is layering multiple products in a stouter defense.

APIs are a hot topic in all sectors of IT - they have gone from being niche solutions provided by big players like Amazon and Google, to being almost as ubiquitous as corporate websites. Ad hoc API development & evangelism without a formal program can leave real revenue on the table, can unintentionally leak sensitive data, and can tarnish the corporate brand with the development community. Today, developers and partners expect to be engaged with first class API programs, while businesses expect real insights to know which APIs are profitable and which APIs to bring to market next. In this webinar, Intel & Mashery outline the baseline enterprise pillars for constructing a first class API program. Learn from CapitalOne how they strategized to build an API program grounded in core business objectives. All attendees to receive a new Mobile API Buyers Guide that presents how to optimize APIs for mobile apps.

"People are talking about doing security in the mobile space and I ask the following question: You have spent the last 13 years building up proper, compliant infrastructures inside your four walls. Now we're going mobile. Why should you implement any lesser degree of compliance in that portion of your infrastructure than you currently have?" Winn Schwartau, one of the world's top experts on security, privacy, infowar and cyber-terrorism, discusses the importance of mobile security and the implications it can have for your pre-existing infrastructure.
