Enterprise Mobility Management & Mobile Security Overview

Enterprise mobility management used to mean providing mobile workers with a laptop and having them dial-in to the corporate e-mail server and download email. If cell phones were provided, their sole purpose was to make and receive voice calls. These two devices were managed separately and life was simple.

Then cell phones evolved into smartphones and laptops began to connect via cellular modems or via wi-fi back to the home office. There were multiple options to connect back to the home office. At the same time, IT began developing web interfaces for mission-critical applications. Suddenly, enterprise mobile security became a major concern and mobility management became a nightmare as employees were demanding anytime, anywhere access to corporate information. With over 70% or more of corporate data now residing on mobile devices, according to IDC, mobility security and management has become a major need.

Webroot's mobile security solutions allow users of these devices to connect to corporate applications or the Internet from any device of their choice without fear of credential compromise and fraud.

Solutions
Webroot's security solutions provide mobility solution providers with a set of rich security capabilities to enhance their products and services:
  • Mobile Security - provides protection for Android and iOS (beta) based mobile devices. While access to corporate web applications from mobile phones and tablets are sometimes secured through SSL or VPN connections, many devices do not have the capability to ensure that the device is protected from outside threats. Webroot can help providers address this significant security gap by addressing the risks inherent in mobile devices with anti-malware, URL filtering and remote device locate/lock/wipe capabilities.
  • SecureAnywhere - Our cloud-based end-point protection can be packaged by mobility solution providers to protect mobile PCs against malware and viruses using a light weight, high-performance client. This powerful security application protects against and removes the latest threats which are designed to compromise end users' PCs and steal personal and corporate information.
  • Web & Email Security-as-a-Service - can be leveraged by providers to add web and email protection features regardless of where the network connection is made (cybercafe, hotel room, remote office or headquarters) and without the need for the user to manage their own security software/appliances. These services can help providers extend their reach into the enterprise to ensure that web and email traffic is cleaned before reaching the end user.
