1. Introduction
With the development of technology, we may confront the fact that mobility in business environment is becoming a more and more crucial element to determine the position of a corporation and its long-term profitability. Enhancing the use of mobile devices to improve the organization’s productivity comes to be the top priority of a business entity’s agenda, at the same time, security and risk concerns cannot be ignored.
Mobile Device Management solution provided by IT Solution Vendors such as SAP and Oracle has become a mainstream for managing mobile devices’ compliance of organizational IT policy and security. The objective of this paper consists of several components. First, we will reviews the currently available MDM solutions and select the best one based on predefined criteria. Second, we will determine the weakness and risk of the selected MDM. Third, we will incorporate some emerging technologies that will potentially eliminate the weakness and mitigate the risk of the selected MDM. Finally, we will evaluate the selected supporting technologies and provide improvement recommendation in order to create a more secure MDM deployment model.
We will start with security policy.
1.1 Policy
1.1.1 The Need for Policy
Mobile security is a combined concept, which involves multiple layers of security, including communication security, operations security and information security. Among all, information security stands out and we should pay enough attention to protect it. The C.I.A triangle was used to address the importance of three characteristics that give value to corporations (C stands for
