With new enterprise technology comes new security concerns. Cloud computing, social media, mobile technology, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other technologies are making it easier to access and use business-critical data, but each new technology seems to bring its own risks. With more businesses relying on digital information, the thing that keeps owners of small businesses and CIOs up at night is keeping that information safe from cyber threats.
The recent controversy regarding the FBI’s efforts to coerce Apple into writing a universal key to unlock iPhone security has shone new light on the need for mobile device management (MDM) software. As you probably know, the FBI sought a means to access the iPhone of Syed Rizwan Farook, the gunman responsible for killing 14 people in San Bernardino. The FBI argued that Apple had to develop software to access Farook’s iPhone data. Apple argued that the FBI’s request would require them to create a universal skeleton key that could compromise security on any iPhone.
