The Portal app for iOS and Android devices simplifies secure mobile access to Riordan web applications that reside behind the access policy manager and Gateway. With the Portal applications, employees can access internal web pages and web applications fast. The Portal, along with customers’ existing Gateway, and access policy manager deployments, provides access to internal web applications such as Riordan intranet sites. This portal access provides a launch pad that IT department use to allow mobile access to precise web resources, without exposing full network access from unknown devices. Riordan employees can sync their e-mail, calendar, and contacts directly to the company Microsoft Exchange Server. This also permits IT department to award secure mobile access to web-based resources.

One of the most important security considerations is how remote clients will be authenticated. PAP (password authentication protocol) will be used. Individuals who remotely access the network will do so by using company issued devices. They are to use the same security considerations they would be subject to at their on-site workstations. Remote access servers will use encryption methods and be closely monitored.

Our company has just over 120 employees, with approximately one third of the employees being remote, and a large sales team that travels more than 50% of the time. We have a single network administrator to support the entire company, and unfortunately due to conflicting schedules I was not able to interview him as originally planned. However, I was able to interview one of our Integration Managers, Nick Dixon, who confirmed for me that our office uses a LAN, with wireless access points for in office employees and Virtual Private Network (VPN) access for remote employees and those who travel. Regrettably, Nick was not familiar with all the equipment specifications, nor could he confirm things like speed, but he did share he knows we have one server currently, our VPN client is Cisco AnyConnect and there is an upgrade planned this year to support our company’s planned employee growth over the next 3 years. Per Nick, our network is primarily used for file sharing, internet access and services, and resource sharing of hardware and software. Nick also said, “Our network is crucial to ensure our employees have the tools needed to do their work, and to effectively communicate with each other.” Without our network, we would not be able to have remote employees, nor would we be able to afford all necessary hardware and software to do business and stay competitive. Additionally, Nick pointed out that we maintain a network for our customers, since our product is provided as a hosted application. We manage this secured LAN, via VPN, for our customers by outsourcing servers and storage through a third party company called

The advantages of allowing employees to use their personal smartphones for work are that it would allow companies to enjoy all of the same benefits of a mobile workforce without spending their own money on unnecessary devices and mobile initiatives. Empowering employees to choose the best device to get their work done, including personally-owned laptops as well as smartphones and tablets, will allow employees to become more mobile and productive. The disadvantages of allowing employees to use their personal smartphones for work are that employees work with more than one type of mobile device and operating system. A significantly large amount of IT resources would have to be dedicated to managing and maintaining a large number of devices in an organization. This presents difficulties for companies to provide

Mobile technology devices are used more today in the office for communicating outside the office. These devices provide the office worker the independence to stay in contact during commutes, to work from home, or to participate in meetings when away from the office. According to research, the most valued qualities of using mobile technology are the functions that the devices provide (Gebauer, 2008).

Many vendors have realized this and have developed some solutions that will be able to address these issues. Most approaches to this solution focus on the overlay solution, simply because the re-design of the enterprise network would be a massive undertaking. With this solution it allows for the organization to have a path of migration that will be able to be followed in the future. Other solutions include changes to the network, as well as the end-point elements. Some of these network access control candidates are: posture based, Cisco network, Microsoft NAP, Juniper NAP, and in-line traffic inspection.

| Mobile devices: The majority of individuals now carry with them devices that in the past were the purview of IT. Whether it is smart phones such as iPhone, Blackberry, Android, and Windows Phone 7, or tablet devices such as iPad and Google OS or Windows based devices, individuals have the power of a desktop in their hands. Given existing technologies, users can perform most of their standard business responsibilities using these devices and the applications available on them. Whether it be customer, product/service, or financial transactions, sitting at your desk with a computer is no longer required. Legacy IT organizations struggle with this new direction, and issues of control and change persist.

You are the network manager of a company that has grown from 10 employees to 100 employees in 12 months. Year 2 projected growth is estimated to be 100 additional employees located at a remote location. The aggressive growth has brought about some unique challenges and opportunities. The company has one remote warehouse and no off-site disaster recovery services or servers. The network design remains a non-redundant, flat topology.
