Mobilisafe has launched its new cloud-based Mobile Risk Management (MRM) solution, enabling IT to identify and eliminate the significant risks associated with the Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) trend. Mobilisafe's service is claimed to be the first and only mobile security solution to deliver real-time vulnerability management that is easy to use, cloud-based, agentless and affordable.
Austin Biery, Director - IT, WinShuttle, and a Customer of Mobilisafe said, "I knew that I had a lot of insecure mobile devices connecting to my network, but until I installed Mobilisafe I really had no idea how vulnerable our company data was. I was initially reluctant to tackle this issue, since most solutions require me to install agents on every mobile device connecting to the network which introduces serious employee privacy concerns. Mobilisafe enabled me to avoid these employee pitfalls with a non-invasive model."
Charles Brett, VP & Principal Analyst, Constellation Research said, "Our research confirms BYOD is already a significant issue for almost all enterprises. Those that think through the implications want simultaneously to give their end-users the freedom to choose the device they prefer while conserving corporate assets. Doing this is certainly achievable, but there are risks to manage. What is more, many of the Mobile Enterprise Management (MEM) solutions we research focus on devices rather than users. But users may have multiple devices, all of which need management of BYOD. Mobilisafe offers such a user-based approach, along with ongoing risk evaluation and policy automation. This is much more like what forward-looking enterprises (and IT) need."
