Enterprise Mobility: The Year in Review

Free Live Webinar

Join our upcoming live demo to learn about the tools available to help you manage window devices on your corporate network.

Earlier this year, we teamed up with research analyst firm, Ovum, for a series of webinars and presentations aimed at identifying the must-watch trends in enterprise mobility that were likely to make the biggest impact on organizations, including:

• Employees increasingly using multiple devices at work and at home
• Businesses adopting “Mobile First” practices
• Mobile enterprise apps taking off

Now, with 2014 almost in the books, we’re once again joining forces with Ovum analyst, Richard Absalom, to revisit our trends and look to the future of mobile in the enterprise.

Join us on November 13th as we look back at our 2014 predictions, explore how fast the EMM market is maturing, and look into new ways businesses can transform their mobile working practices!

Live Webcast on Nov 12th at 10:30 AM ET - Thwarting the Most Damaging Cyber Threats of 2014 and Beyond

Heartbleed. Shellshock. POS malware. These are just a few of the security-related horror stories that have dominated the headlines this year. And while we only have a few months left in 2014, given the sophisticated nature of cyber-attacks these days, it's doubtful these will be the last.

In the current landscape of fierce and frequent threats, it is not enough to protect your endpoints and data; you also need an efficient incident response system that can react within minutes to threats that get past your perimeter protection, in order to minimize damage to your organization and your customers.

How do you protect your organization from advanced threats and ensure you have a robust incident response system in place that can detect and respond to attacks on your data?

Join our panel of experts as they discuss the top security incidents this year and what you should be doing to ensure you have a comprehensive security system in place that allows you to Protect, Detect and Respond to attacks on your organization.

Speakers: 

• Rich Caponigro: Product Manager, IBM Endpoint Manager
• Sean Brown: Senior Product Manager, IBM Security
• Mark Ehr: Product Manager, IBM Security QRadar Risk Manager 

Webinar: Secure Mobile Applications for the Enterprise

Thursday, October 23, 2014 at 2 p.m. Eastern / 11 a.m. Pacific

Click here to register.

As mobile becomes a primary computing platform for the enterprise, every business function will mobilize core operations through apps. Enterprise IT must protect the corporate data in the apps while preserving the end user experience.

MaaS360 Application Security helps mobile application developers embed enterprise-grade security in their applications. IT administrators can then containerize these apps and control the corporate data in the apps via policies.

Join Anar Taori as she discusses:

• Managing the full app lifecycle
• Deploying mobile apps in your organization
• Real life use case: MaaS360 Worklight Integration

While the webinar will be recorded, we recommend you join the live event to take advantage of the live Q&A at the end of the presentation.

Stay Off the Data Breach List: Protect Your Data, Your Enterprise, and Your Customers

IBM is excited to announce a one of a kind webcast - show casing THREE of our industry leading security solutions:  Trusteer, MaaS360 and IBM Endpoint Manager.

Tuesday, Sept 16, 2014 at 12:00pm Eastern

Security breaches have become common headline news these days. It's often hard to keep track of who was hacked and what data was at stake. These incidents put companies in the limelight for all the wrong reasons--and in return they can suffer significant financial losses and damaged reputations. Given that a data breach on average goes undetected for about 8 months, getting access to real-time visibility into the status of your endpoints is crucial to ensuring your organization’s data hasn't been compromised. 

As BYOD and mobility increasingly become part of the standard way we do business, your security risk factor is even greater given the complex mix of mobile apps and devices in the workplace. You need a robust security strategy that secures and protects your data, devices and customers against advanced security threats and malicious code. 

Keep your name off the Data Breach List. Join this webcast discussion with senior security experts from Trusteer, MaaS360 and IBM Endpoint Manager to learn how you can ensure your enterprise data and customers are protected at all times with a comprehensive unified endpoint solution that provides real-time visibility and control to all your endpoints both on and off the network.

There's no such thing as bad publicity. 

Actually, there is; it doesn't take more than a quick web search to see that several organizations have been splashed across the headlines for IT security breaches and have lost millions in sales and damaged brand equity.

With attacks becoming increasingly sophisticated and more financially motivated, you must not only protect against such attacks but be able to remediate them on-demand. You also have to contend with a complex mix of corporate and employee-owned devices - smart phones, tablets, servers, ATMs, kiosks, PCs, Macs and more that operate both on and off your corporate network.

Join this discussion with senior security experts and find out how you can mitigate risks by securely managing any device, at any location, any time.

Webinar Replay: Game of Phones

Recorded Thursday, May 1, 2014 | 2 pm ET / 11 am PT

The battle for the one ruler of mobility has been ravishing the land for years. As three powerful families of devices battle to usurp the others with larger screens, faster processors and more features, it has left the kingdom in great turmoil on who they should trust as the most benevolent ruler of productivity.

Join Fiberlink as Medieval Mobile MaaSters for Apple, Android and Windows clash to determine which device family will sit upon the silicon throne.

	Apple: Lord Andrew Clarke: Like the Lannisters, Apple is the current leader of Enterprise mobility with the most devices activated in business and schools. With its beloved features, apps, usability, and expanding device options, the iOS platform seems fit to rule for years to come. But it remains to be seen just how far Apple can extend its empire across the continents.
	Android: Sir Frank Schloendorn: This Targaryen like mobile OS may not be the obvious choice, but the device diversity that was once keeping Android in exile has turned into a powerful battle arsenal. Devices and features found in the Samsung KNOX family line could very well be a mammoth dragon of power in pushing further inside the enterprise garden walls.
	Windows: Squire Sergiy Mimkha: Windows like the Starks has taken quite a few battle scars in the battle for mobility. Now though with the power of Windows Phone 8 and the seamless connectivity to Office365 and portals of parchment sharing like SharePoint, Windows is poised to march from the great Northwest to show they are a force to be reckoned with.

Take your seat in the jousting arena today to see who will be the one OS to rule them all (and yes, we have no shame in mixing our medieval metaphors).
