Mobile Data Issues for the Enterprise

The growth of mobile devices in enterprises is growing at a significant pace. While the impact of increased data growth is not a significant issue for an enterprise network that is provisioned with sufficient Wi-Fi capacity, mobile devices create other issues in enterprises that need to be handled. One of the issues is dealing with the security issues related to mobile devices. Mobile devices may be lost, leading to loss of critical enterprise data. The infrastructure supporting mobile devices also needs to be secured using appropriate security procedures. Many enterprises have applications that predate mobile devices. These applications have to be provided with a mobile front end so that they can be used effectively by mobile device users. The bring your own device (BYOD) approach may require upgrades to the current network infrastructure as well as properly articulated security processes.
