Mobility is gaining traction in the enterprise, but true understanding and comfort with mobile security is not yet present. To shed light on this issue, Entrust commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a market study on the mobility landscape within today’s enterprise. The results indicate there’s a clear dichotomy between perception and reality of mobile device security. To help understand this complex topic, Entrust created an infograph from the commissioned market study, Mobility Helps Enterprises Enter A New Age.
Mobile is secure — even more so than traditional laptops and desktops.
The collision of user and device identities, and related targeted attacks,
is a new challenge for enterprises.
The mobile user experience and strong security are no longer mutually exclusive.
It’s critical to become ‘identity-assured’ via secure out-of-band channels.
