The Security And Control Challenges

The CSO or CIO should establish policies as to what data is allowed to be stored on mobile devices, what level of protection is required, and what access to internal systems various mobile devices can have. Regularly, these policies are part of the overall data management and access management policies. The network administrator and IT manager usually decide on which tools to use to ensure that password, virtual private network, access control, and malware protection requirements are followed.
