Corporate data: the target for mobile malware
If you were ever in any doubt about the need for a comprehensive and sophisticated mobile device management and security tool like 3CX Mobile Device Manager, a new report from Juniper Networks should dispel those doubts in an instant. Over the past year, the Juniper Networks Mobile Threat Centre (MTC) detected a 614 percent growth in mobile malware along with increased sophistication of cyber criminals whose attacks are becoming increasingly profit-driven.
Corporate mobile devices and apps! Can they be managed?
Most employees use mobile devices to conduct their work more efficiently. Especially people that work in sales who are on the move all the time they definitely need a smartphone to keep in touch with the office and their clients. But what happens if they start to download malware and rogue apps onto their phones? This malware could start to jeopardise the corporate data stored on the phone. As a business you would want to avoid this as much as you can.

Mobile device management: necessary but methodology is required
So, you’ve deployed 3CX Mobile Device Manager on every mobile device your employees want to use for work purposes. You’ve used it to enforce password policies, protect corporate data and create white lists and black lists of approved and unapproved apps. You know it will enable you to remotely lock and wipe any device, but do you have a clear vision as to what you want to do with all those secured, managed and monitored mobile devices? In short, do you have a mobile strategy? Many organisations don’t.

But there’s one thing you might have forgotten: bandwidth.

Beyond BYOD: 5 steps for BYOX
In just a few years, the rapid proliferation of mobile devices has fundamentally changed enterprise IT management. However, BYOD has left many IT experts unprepared for the explosion of mobile computing and the hundreds of thousands of apps that have come to market with it.
