Security has always been a top concern and priority for enterprises, in the mobile world ensuring security is maintained end-to-end across the network becomes more complex, irrespective of whether this is wireless, mobile, PAN, WLAN or WWAN. Key questions that enterprises need to ask themselves when mobilising any part of their organisation include:

• How will you deploy end-to-end mobile security solutions?
• How will you manage security risks and liability?
• What processes and procedures will you need to adopt?

We provide discussion on how to answer these questions and why end-to- end mobile security is important and how the market is developing. The core to successful end-to-end mobile security deployment is the ADDAM process, Asses, Develop, Design, Assemble and Manage. Deploying the right mobile infrastructure to suit business needs is part of the solution, together with initiating a centrally managed security network that incorporates all mobile devices.

Outside support and services may be required for certain mobile solutions, the WWAN in particular, and we present solutions to ensure they provide you with the right levels of security. The creation of SecLAs (Security Level Agreements) is a part of this, but enterprises will need to take initiative in their development.

This report provide enterprises with steps on how to deploy end-to-end mobile security solutions, whether you are extending your fixed network to include mobile access, extending mobile access or simply need to improve your security.
