Enterprises will continue to capitalize on the mobility benefits brought by broadband wireless networks, ever-increasing numbers of remote workers and skyrocketing demand for services – from any location.
The challenge of protecting this growing number of mobile laptops in the face of new threats is mounting. IT must ensure that these devices don't bring dangerous viruses or worms back into the enterprise and that their sensitive data is not exposed to compromise. IT Staff needs to implement a solution that's both cost-effective and non-invasive for their end users and at the same time gain visibility and control over this mobile blind spot. When a laptop is removed from the enterprise, the IT department loses visibility of it and, as a result, loses its ability to protect the sensitive data it contains, especially if the laptop is lost or stolen.
As part of Advocate Networks' IS Security/Compliance and Governance Practice, we have partnered with Sprint/Alcatel-Lucent to include their unique, industry first "Laptop Guardian" device in our Mobility and IS Security portfolio. The solution addresses the "mobile blind spot" as described above leveraging the cellular network to provide IT with 24/7 visibility into the corporate laptop.
