Title: The Challenges of Enabling a Secure and Productive Mobile Workforce.
Synopsis: The nature of how we work – and even the workplace itself – has undergone a dramatic evolution, whether that’s replacing notepads and pencils with digital meeting notes or accessing electronic “to do” lists on our devices. Successful businesses leverage the power of mobility to support employee productivity and collaboration, while mitigating the risks that come with providing freedom and space to employees. In this way managing security doesn’t have to come at the expense of productivity. Businesses can have an integrated mobility solution that provides security across multiple layers – and provides a rich, more secure productivity experience for users that gives them the freedom to work anywhere, from any device, with omplete access to the apps and data they need.
Shirley will discuss how Organisations can embrace and support a mobile workforce while protecting users and sensitive, corporate data
