The mobile future is now: Three challenges IT departments are facing in 2014

The demand for anytime, anywhere network access is growing at lightning speed. Businesses now need a well-defined mobile strategy to ensure IT departments have the tools, solutions, security and resources ready to drive the implementation. With the explosion of mobile, IT departments are facing the following challenges:

1.       A growing demand for quick access to information.

It’s true that mobile devices help employees be more efficient no matter where they are, travelling for business or even on public transit. Also, to remain competitive, organizations need to be able to react more quickly to market conditions and customer needs. Mobile technologies are helping businesses become more agile, however, in many cases, it can also disrupt corporate networks. IT departments need to start now to plan for and prepare mobile usage policies.

2.       A secure and efficient management of corporate networks.

IT departments need to know what devices are trying to connect to their networks so they can provide convenient, secure access to those that are authorized. They must establish a standard for connected devices by making an initial inventory of all the devices on the network, categorize them and then set network access policies based on the risk profile of the device. This allows for a secure, convenient access for authorized devices, while providing appropriate limited access for unauthorized devices, notably personal devices employees bring to work.

3.       Numerous requests for “bring your own device” (BYOD) policies.

Businesses are counting on strategic IT departments to come up with robust, simple, scalable and secure BYOD strategies for their enterprise to allow users to access information from their personal devices. A BYOD policy needs to deliver the essentials for secure network access and take into consideration securing mobile devices, simplifying device and network management, and scalability.

IT departments that try to keep up by using traditional network access control methods risk putting their companies at a disadvantage. By choosing the right technology to use on mobile devices for their organization, IT will improve network security and manageability, save time, increase employee productivity and gain strategic business advantage.
