Companies and public sector bodies alike are at risk from unauthorized access and the loss of valuable corporate and personal data. Recent events in the news have highlighted just how real this risk is. Achieving confidentiality of data through encryption is straightforward, the challenge that organizations face is how to strike the right balance between confidentiality, integrity and availability, particularly when data is exchanged between partner organizations, and data is stored on mobile devices that reside outside the glass house of security. Technology is available to secure data, but processes also need to be in place to ensure compliance and enable access to the encrypted information. Protecting against theft of mobile devices involves implementing security and managing the devices on the front line.
