IBM unveils expansion of MaaS360 in India
IBM has announced expansion of its global footprint for delivering mobile Security-as-a-Service via IBM Cloud. Through the deployment of new IBM MaaS360 services across its global Cloud Data Centers in Europe, Asia, North America and South America, IBM will help clients address local data protection standards for mobile business. IBM will also offer data privacy consulting services as well as mobile strategy, design and deployment consultants as clients look to scale their mobile strategies globally.
With IBM MaaS360 currently operating in North America, Germany and Singapore, IBM will also add the service in France and India, with an additional eight countries intended over the next two years. IBM MaaS360 helps clients simplify mobile device management by providing the tools needed to monitor and manage mobile devices.
The new IBM mobile security cloud services help enterprises manage local data requirements as they deploy mobile devices and data management policies globally via the IBM Cloud.
With mobile adoption on the rise, and expected to surpass the human population, data regulations and requirements create complex business scenarios. For example, requirements for handling mobile data vary by country and region, sometimes creating complex governance scenarios for corporate data moving across borders including the processing of personal data for remote access and storage. One recent example is the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) adopted by the European Union which is expected to be applicable as of May 2018.
“With today’s expansion of our mobile security and management capabilities within the IBM Cloud, we have built a formidable platform for global clients to embrace mobile locally and globally,” said Jim Brennan, Director of Strategy and Offering Management, Endpoint Management & Security, IBM Security. “With more than five million devices under management for over 10,000 clients, MaaS360 has proven its ability to scale for clients of all sizes. Clients now will be able to bring even greater mobile flexibility to their employees.”
