Employee productivity as a function of time

Fundamental challenge

A single device must support two 'masters'

Err no….

Choices• Mobile Device Management (MDM) applies

enterprise policy to the device as a whole– PIN, wipe, VPN etc

• Mobile Application Management (MAM) focuses on the business apps ON the device– App store, security added onto binaries

either through SDK or 'wrapping'

GTD Requirements

1. Initial GTD - Quickly get new employees up and running with the applications their role demands

2. Ongoing GTD - Provide employees single sign on experience in day to day work

3. Stop GTD - Reduce/remove permissions when necessary

Granularity of IT control

Priv

acy

Partioning for privacy1. Divide the phone in 'half'

– one side for business applications & data, another for personal

2. IT's mandate is to manage & secure the apps & data on the business side

3. IT has no mandate (nor, hopefully, desire) to touch apps & data on the personal side

Balancing Act

Security

IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DEVICE

It's the data

Protecting the data1. Ensure that user/app can access only

appropriate data– Authorization based on role

2. Protect data in transit– SSL

3. Protect data on device– PIN, Encryption

4. Remove access to data when appropriate– Wipe stored data (or keys)– Revoke access to fresh data

Summary1. Divide device & leave employee personal data

alone2. Provision apps via MAM based on employee

identity & roles into employee 'side'3. Provision tokens to those apps via IdM based on

employee identity & roles4. Apps use tokens on API calls to corresponding
