As the smartphone continues on its relentless march to become the primary PC there is an even greater need to ensure it is secure. Companies increasingly require staff to use their smartphones to connect to the corporate network while working away from the office and using it to access the Internet is easier now than it has ever been in the past. Today, remote workers are able to use their mobile devices to access the Internet via the hundreds of unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots located across the country, delivering sensitive information straight into the corporate network. However, with all the easy-accessibility it’s no surprise that employees forget about security.This panel will look at the security issues faced by your road warriors and the security issues and best practices that employers should be aware of when connecting remote devices to the corporate network.
