How to securely deploy mobile devices such as Blackberrys and iPhones inside businesses
Regardless of corporate or security policies, the IT department cannot prevent the deployment of the latest mobile devices such as Blackberrys or iPhones inside businesses. “Going without” is no longer an option and it is highly likely that this trend will continue as in most cases it was top management who initiated the deployment of these mobile devices
After a first wave of Blackberry, the iPhone opened a new breach in security policies and another may well occur very soon with the rising popularity of Android-based mobiles.
At OpenTrust, we have been working over recent years to provide a solution for complete end-to-end life cycle management of credentials stored inside all types of devices, be they smartphones, set-top boxes, games consoles, IP telephones or connected devices. OpenTrust transforms all of these into validated and trusted elements of the Chain of Trust.
