2 F-SECURE MOBILITY EBOOK

SWITCH ON MOBILE FREEDOM

In 2014, more internet connections will be made by mobile phones than computers. Technolo-gy, with its rapid development, changes our be-havior as both consumers and workers, and en-ables us to embrace the digital way of life. The new world brings both unforeseen possibilities and threats.

Two key factors enable our move to a mobile life-style—constant secure access online, and un-interrupted flow of information through active networks. These factors are crucial for a new push for business. They are also where malware writ-ers and other bad guys see the clearest vulner-ability. New ways of infiltration, like highly capa-ble trojan apps and phishing sites, have emerged and today clearer than ever before digital attacks are motivated by making money off mobile de-vices. In Apple’s iOS alone, there was a +844% in-crease in the amount of phishing sites from Q1 to Q2 in 2013.

Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2014:

• Mobile Device Diversity and Management

• Mobile Apps and Applications• The Internet of Everything• Hybrid Cloud and IT as Service Broker

Cloud/Client Architecture• The Era of Personal Cloud• Smart Machines

With huge possibilities come huge threats. The need for modern protection is dire.

Secure mobility, driven by an agile workforce us-ing mobile devices, is strategic to business. Yet only a fraction of companies have a clear mobile strategy. Security is the most important reason why companies need flawlessly functioning mo-bile management. In today’s companies, up to 80% of the workforce use personal devices for work, while only 30% completely trust their pri-vacy.

People work from a mix of locations, on multi-ple devices. Productivity is shifting outside the boundaries of the office, with the rate of mobile productivity steadily on the rise. Where typical workers already use 2 or more devices for work purposes, in 2016 innovative knowledge workers will use up to 5 devices.

According to the Gartner’s Top 10 Tech Trends 2014, this diversification of mobile devices is one of today’s biggest trends. This creates new, more mobile security challenges, and requires apt, modern ways of digital protection. Increas-ing amount of apps on increasing amount of OS’s on an increasing amount of devices means com-pany mobile management is pivotal.

MOBILE USE


Driven by digitalization, the way the world works is undergoing a radical change. The way we use technology affects our everyday behavior and the changes re-flect fast to business. As our personal and professional lives converge in the digital world, it’s a thin blurred line between em-ployees and consumers. Small and mid-size business employees use the same de-vices for both work and private functions. As roles become flexible, also companies grow increasingly interconnected, real time and individualized.

WORK TOWARDS THE FUTURE

In the changed world, work is an activi-ty, not a place you go to. Independent of location and no longer restricted to the office, work extends to client meetings, cafés, seminars, planes, hotels and even homes, and drifts beyond office hours.

We are moving from nine to five to a 24/7 work culture. Accommodating fluent work is the foundation of modern busi-ness. Interaction drives business, and companies are dire to stay connected, constantly.

MOBILE DEVICES USED FOR BUSINESS PRODUCTIVITY

MOBILE TOOLS DIVERSIFY


Business is in constant evolution. It’s a flu-id future, as companies are fast adopting the devices of today and tomorrow. What used to be a world of cubicles and desktops, is now a network of all devices mobile—smartphones, tablets and lap-tops.Wearable technology and phablets, me-ga-trends of the immediate future, fur-ther engage the workforce to constant connections.

As work has moved on the go, the means of business have also shifted mobile. A sin-gle business now works on many forms, screen sizes & interaction styles, and on multiple different platforms.

Agile organizations and employees know and expect to BYOD (Bring your own de-vice), CYOD (Choose your own device)

THIS IS HOW THE WORLD WORKS

PER YEARand BYOA (Bring your own application), and share company assets in the cloud, set up office on the go, and want privacy with their security. Four out of every five consumers use their personal mobile devices for work, and dedicate an hour of personal time daily for work related screen time. Over 70% of mobile workers access company resources on their own devices.

Mobile work calls for more focus on secu-rity. It is no longer enough to secure your company pc:s. You need a product that can secure your connections and com-munication as well.

80 % of workers continue to work after leaving the office, on average an hour a day. This means 365 extra work hours per year per employee.

NEW MEANS FOR BUSINESS

Digitalization of work offers great pos-sibilities for business. Faster, more effi-cient and constantly realtime, companies can take their productivity to a new level. The ability to do business on the go is also the key enabler of new digital business.

Modern digital threats follow hand in hand with the possibilities. As busi-ness scatters around the world and is ac-cessed with a myriad different devices by a changing workforce, company informa-tion is exposed to increasing chances for digileaks, phishing, data theft, corruption, and frauds.

Unprotected, your business is an open book. Two out of every three employee have access to corporate resources from their own devices and 43% BYOD work-ers report to having let someone else use

their work device. In addition on Q2/2012 alone, there was a 200% increase in mal-ware targeting smartphones.

Unmanaged, BYOD can lead to loss of control, impact your network availability, and cause data loss. This means that de-vice management for all your company devices, be they yours or your employ-ees’, is of utmost importance in the mo-bile world.

At F-Secure we have dedicated efforts to create the ultimate means to conduct business on the move. Safe connections backed with pioneering security solutions make our portfolio the easy pick. Stripped of all things unnecessary, and designed intuitive, safe business has never been so simple.

24/7 SECURE ACCESS

Safe and secure online access is the core of a flaw-lessly functioning mobile workspace. Security and the risk of data leakage are the top 2 concerns for mobile enterprises. In 2012, 56,8% of compa-nies experienced a security incident that serious-ly impacted their functions. The amount of mo-bile workers is steadily on the rise, and by 2015, there will be more people accessing the internet on mobile devices than traditional desktop com-puters. All these users are in need of a safe con-nection.

Working on personal devices sets the need for modern connections. For traveling business workers, poorly functioning and insecure inter-net connection, or the complete lack of access,

presents the #1 stress factor. As the smartphone is the first and the last thing 29% of people look at everyday, almost entirely for work and social net-working purposes, the security solution has to be close, convenient and always accessible.
