On November 11, IBM announced a new managed security service that addresses today’s security concerns for smartphones and tablet devices in the workplace.  Built on Juniper’s Junos Pulse Mobility Security Suite, IBM will provide organizations with on-device protection for mobile devices – including iPhone, Blackberry, Windows and Android devices, among others.

 

Through our global alliance, IBM and Juniper have been working together for years in providing best-in-class security solutions and services to customers worldwide. This new security service will help mitigate risks associated with the growing number of employee-owned, bring-your-own-device (“BYOD”) and corporate-liable mobile devices accessing sensitive date. It will also help organizations protect themselves against data loss and other risks caused by device theft, malware, spyware and unauthorized access.

The proliferation of mobile devices in the workplace has skyrocketed over the course of the last few years and is only expected to continue.  According to a recent Gartner report, 90% of organizations will support corporate applications on personal devices, by the year 2014 – leading to, as Juniper’s Karim Toubba put it in a recent Forbes byline, the “perfect storm for hackers.”
