Securing Mobility in the Cloud

• Lee Cocking via WIRED.com

We’re reaching a tipping point where mobile access to the Internet is surpassing access from traditional wired workstations. It’s even more pronounced in mobile-first markets. With little infrastructure in place and all your data in the cloud, the integration of cloud and mobile becomes an extremely important one for decades to come.

However, you have to trust the cloud.

Keyless signature technology provides a mechanism for data authenticity in the cloud to be independently verified as tamper-free. ITIL consultants admit that combining helium-tight virtualization with keyless signature is a “game-changer” for the entire industry and ultimately alleviates fears associated with embracing cloud adoption. But the true value is created by adding mobile risk management.

IT is undergoing significant changes thanks to the rise of cloud computing, social networking, the proliferation of mobile devices and apps, and other disruptive forces. One of the biggest impacts is the dramatic shift to BYOD (Bring Your Own Device).

Organizations are desperately trying to figure out how to embrace BYOD and mobility securely, while simultaneously maximizing usability and driving down cost. Mash-up solutions are out there but vendors are struggling to deliver all the functional elements required to address enterprise needs as they open the doors to BYOD and crank out the apps.
