Webcast Reminder: Compliance in the Mobile Enterprise

There's no question that workforce mobility proves its value every day. But it does have a down side: handhelds and laptops can easily be lost or stolen and security controls are inconsistent and often unenforceable. This can result in the leakage of sensitive information. Virtually every company that uses mobile devices is vulnerable.

With government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, California SB1386 and HIPAA, it is imperative that organizations protect sensitive information at all times, in all places. Due to the dynamic nature of mobile environments, information outside the data center is particularly at risk to the threat of security breaches. In this session, we'll provide an overview of how the mobile enterprise is affected by current government regulations, and discuss technical controls and other considerations for becoming compliant.

This session will include detailed information about:

  • Security considerations for mobile devices, including laptops and handhelds
  • An overview of key government regulations and how they apply to mobile deployments
  • Strategies to achieve mobile compliance

Featured speaker:

  • James Wilcox, Sybase iAnywhere

This webcast is available On Demand starting April 24th at 9:00 AM Eastern Time.
