In 2012, IDC research found 68% of smartphones used for global business were owned by employees. This shift in prevalence of employee-owned devices from corporate-issued devices is forcing organizations to consider the ramifications of such ownership on the security of its applications, data and content.

New Year's Resolution: Safeguard Social, Mobile and Cloud

Will you be the savvy organization that says "bring it" to bring your own device (BYOD)? Or the one that forgoes the policies and solutions needed to address broader mobile content control? Join Stephen Drake, Program Vice President for Mobility & Telecom research at IDC, for our first live webinar of the year and learn the steps required to successfully manage and secure your business' mobile ecosystem:

- Key market trends to morph your strategy
- Policies and solutions to overcome challenges
- Success attributes to aim for in 2013

It's that time of year again. You'd like to know what devices are on your BYOD-ers' wishlists, but only Kris Kringle can tell. All you can do now is prepare for whatever's coming, whether it be an Android 4.2 Nexus 7 or a Samsung SAFE equipped Galaxy S III. One has its advantages, the other may impact the way you choose to support Android in the future.

'Tis the season to be wary!

Join Frank Schloendorn, Director of MDM Security and Quality Assurance at Fiberlink for our final live webinar of the year and learn about new developments in the Android support community that will change the way manage your devices in 2013:

- Managing Multi-User: Uphold a 1:1 ratio between users and devices
- SAFE Salvation: How Samsung, Motorola and HTC are making security easier

According to Gartner, the number of smartphones and tablets sold will exceed the billion mark in 2013, a trend which is "changing the way businesses look at their device strategies." The research firm expects 66% of mobile workers to own a smartphone in less than 5 years.

Don't Tread on BYOD

Join Val Hetrick, Fiberlink Director of Customer Success, for ten policies that ensure safe and productive use of smartphones and tablets in the enterprise, plus a demo of how to put them into practice using a mobile device management (MDM) solution:

- Score a TouchDown with secure, encrypted Android email

Enterprise mobility brings productivity great promise, but at what price? Along with bring your own device (BYOD) comes a variety of devices, operating systems, access points and applications that are forcing IT to reexamine the traditional "defense in depth" security model that served them well in the glory days of the PC and laptop.

In this webinar, Fiberlink and mobile security expert Michael Finneran of dBrn Associates introduce five unique threats and special challenges involved in contemporary mobile security, and why a strategy shift may be in order for your organization. You will learn:

On October 26th, the technology community excitedly embraced the next wave of Microsoft operating systems in Windows 8. This time around, the traditionally PC-centric software has come packed with the cross-platform Modern interface in attempt to bridge the smartphone, tablet, PC device operability chasm.

How will a security conscious, Defender-equipped MS family will adapt to today's cyber-threat cognizant enterprise community? What technology can be used to manage the devices aimed for its doors? In this webinar, Frank Schloendorn, Fiberlink's Mobility MaaSter for Microsoft products uncovers:

- Software similarities and differences across each device type
- Pros and cons of upgrading to the latest OS version
- Ways to uphold network security with new devices arriving on scene

Why so Apprehensive?

There are over 1 million mobile applications available for smartphone and tablet users. These aren't just diversionary time-wasters either; industries from medicine to manufacturing are finding countless efficiency from an app-enabled workforce. As productivity moves from mouse clicks to finger swipes, IT must lead the charge on how apps are developed, deployed, managed, secured, and even decommissioned in the mobile enterprise.

Managing millions made easy

Join John Nielsen and Ryan Hope of Fiberlink for a complete walkthrough of enterprise mobile application management (MAM). You'll learn the best practices across the entire mobile app management lifecycle:

- Techniques to build more innovative and useful apps
- Distributing apps to specific groups through enterprise app catalogs
- Publishing app updates to your entire mobile workforce
- Enforcing app security based on compliance rules
- Researching and recommending apps to users
- Selectively removing corporate apps from devices

How do you contain corporate data on personal devices?

As the BYOD trend gains momentum, not all employees are comfortable having their personal phones locked down and controlled as tightly as a corporate-issued device. To get around this issue some organizations are turning to separation techniques to securely manage corporate email, apps, and docs on employee devices while keeping personal data out of sight and out of mind.

Forgoing some visibility into personal information should not compromise security or the user experience. Join the Mobile MaaSters from Fiberlink in this upcoming webinar to discover ways to manage iPhones, iPads, and Androids without sacrificing the collective expectations of BYODers.

During this session you will learn:
- How to configure personal devices and enforce granular level policies
- Methods to distribute and control corporate data on personal devices
- When to opt for a full device wipe versus a selective wipe
- What BYOD Privacy Settings can do to keep personal data personal

IT is moving to the cloud, but are the security, legal and privacy implications of the move to a serverless organization well understood? This question increases in significance as bring your own device intersects with mobile device management on the IT roadmap.

Start your journey into the "as-a-service" world with David Lingenfelter who will overview what to look for in a cloud-based MDM, app, and document security solution. You'll learn how provider transparency can give users the same confidence and trust in the cloud as its on-premises ancestors.

With Apple's iOS 6 and Google's Jelly Bean releases coming this fall, contention between these two powerful mobile platforms has never been hotter. According to Gartner, Android and iOS will capture 77% of open OS device sales by the end of 2012, further bolstering their presence in the workplace.

Despite considerable efforts to improve security and enterprise-friendliness, both mobile OSs come with some limitations and differences that require closer analysis.
