Develop & Enforce Policies That Securely Enable a Mobile Workforce

Prepare your policies for a future when mobile personas are more important than mobile devices.

  • User policies are often created ad hoc or based on outdated policies designed for specific corporate-issued devices.
  • The number of possible technology policies to enable or disable is daunting, and deciding which policies to apply to which users can appear to be a monumental task.
  • Poorly thought-out policies can increase support and management costs, especially if something goes wrong.
