| | Smart mobile devices are clearly on their way to pervasiveness in federal agencies. The notion that the government can adopt consumer technology on its own terms - that individual employees can even bring their own devices - is gaining once unthinkable currency.
But as mobile devices turn from dream into reality, questions of management and policy arise. Strong cybersecurity obviously is a necessity - but how much security such as logon timeouts can users accept before they start attempting to circumvent it? Will system managers be able to track the location of devices 24 hours a day - and so also know where the employee using them also is? If devices are BYOD, how can agencies be certain that matters such as loss and theft are reported quickly enough, especially if the standard policy response is to remotely wipe a missing device? For that matter, how can any agency be truly certain of the security of its networks given an employee-owned device? When it comes to device management in general, how much device-layer security measures can agencies layer on before undercutting the ability of employees to fully exploit their mobile devices?
Join FierceGovernmentIT for a webinar on Tk, TK, 2012 and we’ll discuss these questions with experts from the private sector and government.
