45% Indian Firms afraid of Enterprise Mobility Security and Privacy: AStudy
According to a new global study, TechInsights Report: Enterprise Mobility – It’s All About the Apps, from Vanson Bourne that was commissioned by CA Technologies, it has been revealed that almost half (45 per cent) of Indian organizations are concerned about the security and privacy of their enterprise mobility initiatives, the second-highest figure in the Asia-Pacific and Japan (APJ) region after China.
The study showed that 43 per cent of Indian companies are deploying mobility initiatives to increase the security of mobile access to data and applications. Nearly all (85 per cent) of respondents either have a strategy already or plan to do so within 12 months.
According to the findings, successful enterprise mobility deployment has moved beyond supporting Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), and requires specific strategies targeted at the balanced servicing of customer, IT and employee needs.
Vic Mankotia, Vice-President, Solution Strategy, APJ, CA Technologies, said, “Today, CIOs are under enormous pressures to address the rapid pace of technology change and evolution. Mobility has dramatically elevated the complexity of what is needed both for internal users and customer-facing systems. The potential of not complying with key regulations, inadvertent dissemination of corporate information, or negatively impacting brand reputation because of a poor mobile application shopping experience, are just a few examples of risks faced by organizations that do not have an enterprise-wide mobility strategy.”
The report also reveals that 46 per cent of the Indian companies are giving priority to external customer-facing mobile apps and device support initiatives, compared with 36 per cent who are prioritizing internal BYOD IT projects.
