Companies need to budget for mobile device security because in the event of hardware loss, IT departments need authentication tools and similar specialized software to track devices and delete data from them.
IT managers should pay attention to internal and external certification of equipment. Many of the available enterprise-class mobile device platforms include authentication that is more robust than the authentication installed inside the normal device itself. The same authentication policy can be used for all different types of devices and can be extended across the network.
This authentication means that an employee must enter a password every time he or she accesses a device. IT managers must ensure that passwords are hard to guess and that employees do not paste them in obvious places (such as laptop bags).
It may be a hassle to require employees to enter a password every time they check a new email, but it can remind employees that you're working with a device that contains confidential information.
Of course, an enterprise's mobile device security policy requires the most applicable rules and adequate help information. IT managers warn employees not to leave their mobile devices on tables in restaurants or bars, but to carry them with them. If equipment is not used when staying in a hotel, keep it locked in a safe or other security device. Employees should be warned not to let others use their laptops or smartphones for work.
