White Paper: 10 Best Practices: Controlling Smartphone Access To Corporate Networks

The "Consumerization of IT" has lead to the proliferation of personal smartphone devices used as corporate network endpoints. However, upon granting users allowance to use smartphones, companies must contend with related problems, ranging from uncontrolled bandwidth consumption to exposing new conduits for malware attack and data leakage. The growing array of platforms, as well as the growing influence of consumer decision making in corporate smartphone deployments, demands a universal, platform-agnostic approach to security best practices, which treats all smartphones as uncontrolled endpoints. Organizations can implement these practices using currently available technologies, such as SSL VPNs and Next-Generation Firewalls with Application Intelligence and Control.
