We believe mission-critical apps are at the very heart of modern digital transformation. Yet, reporting to senior management how these are being utilised across your estate - and whether they are being kept up to date or not - has never been easy.

Unused devices represent a significant wasted opportunity (and cost) for a Mobile IT deployment. Devices that are sitting unpowered in user's drawers, lying forgotten at home, or otherwise ignored, represent a direct financial loss to the business and also an opportunity cost in potential productivity gains. How do you recover those devices and repurpose that initial investment?

Corporate buy-in for large-scale enterprise mobility projects is often much easier to achieve than for behind-the-scenes infrastructure upgrades. A mobile-enabled workforce brings tangible business benefits in the form of cost savings and increased productivity, regardless of industry sector.

Looking at MobileIron for the first time? In this helpful guide we offer clarification on the different licensing models available and their features.

Your existing MobileIron licence could well be costing you significantly more than it needs to. Discover how to save your business money when renewing.

One question is almost certainly front of mind as your MobileIron licence renewal date approaches: how can you reduce costs while adding value to your subscription?

Mobile devices, although equally at risk as traditional PCs and servers, may not have been top of your organisation's priority patch list, but with increasing amounts of sensitive corporate data being stored and accessed from these devices, they should be.

The recent Meltdown and Spectre announcements have seen wide media coverage this past week and prompted a fair amount of extra work for IT teams across the globe.

If you work in IT, I suspect that you have recently spent a fair amount of time ensuring your systems are patched against these vulnerabilities. However, I suspect that you have also spent a considerable amount of time dealing with enquiries from others asking about these vulnerabilities and your own organisation's risk.

Details are finally emerging on a couple of serious security issues that have received much media attention and speculation: Meltdown and Spectre.

Today, employees require immediate and flexible access from a wide range of device types and form factors. In the modern, connected and mobile world, the traditional USB drive is dead. Your users are already using and demanding Dropbox as their preferred collaboration and sharing service, so why not empower your users and gain control and visibility over their use of this unique solution?

At Bridgeway, providing quality solutions to our customers has always been a top priority. Since day one, we’ve been committed to hand-picking the best technologies to fit our customers’ needs. That’s why it was an easy decision for us to join the Dropbox Partner Network and add Dropbox for Business to our portfolio of partner offerings.  So why are we so excited?

A look at how organisations can approach understanding the drivers and the processes involved in their mobility projects, and planning for how to ensure overall project success.

I recently gave a presentation at the Enterprise Mobility Management Conference in London, where I discussed the typical lifecycle of a mobility project and what ensures a project's success. Before embarking on a mobility project, I think it’s important for organisations to understand the processes involved in the project, and to consider what they want to obtain from it.

Back in 2011, the Department of Health published a progress report from its National Mobile Health Worker Project, which was designed to examine the potential technical and business benefits of mobile working in community health services. It’s interesting to note that while the technology has evolved since then, the challenges of integrating mobile into the day-to-day running of the NHS remain consistent...

Lack of consistent mobile Web access is hampering business activity - but what can be done about it?

These days, people expect decent internet access wherever they go, whether they’re on a train or at the pub. However, we’ve all experienced the frustration of not being able to log on when we’re out and about. The fact remains that the quality of mobile network coverage varies greatly across the UK.  Many parts of the country, mostly (but not exclusively) rural areas, suffer from poor or practically non-existent coverage, while the quality of mobile coverage on Britain’s road, rail and underground networks is failing to meet commuters’ expectations. As more and more business is conducted online and on the move, this lack of connectivity is hurting the UK economy.

The first in a series of blogs that look at how businesses can change the way they manage their IT to accommodate the mobility wave.

Business IT is undergoing fundamental changes right now – changes that are as fundamental and far-reaching as when your company first connected to the Internet back in the 90s.  What’s more, these changes are probably not part of your existing IT strategy, but they’re happening all the same.

Last Saturday, I was scanning through the papers and ended up at a regular feature in the Guardian Weekend Magazine called 'Blind date'. This involves two readers going on a blind date and then each of them reporting on the experience, in turn responding to various questions on the date. The final question they are asked is whether they would hope to meet again...

Last night, a serious security vulnerability in Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) was disclosed.  This vulnerability, named POODLE, affects SSL v3 client and server communications, allowing a man-in-the-middle (MitM) attack to decrypt the connection, recovering session data and cookies.

This week, something happened which could sound the death knell for the use of memory sticks in business. The code for an unpatchable vulnerability which undermines the security of USB devices, and can turn any such device into a malicious agent, has now been published online. Is it time to finally say goodbye to the USB drive?

In 2009, I was working with a vendor of secure USB memory sticks.  The devices were intended to mitigate the risks of data losses by automatically encrypting data copied onto them.  At that time, data breaches by public and private sector organisations resulting from lost USB drives and laptops were regularly in the headlines, so a memory stick with onboard encryption was a simple, effective solution to a common problem.

A new vulnerability has been discovered in a common Unix and Linux component, the Bash shell. This exploit is remotely exploitable and patches have been released for all the major operating systems. If you run any Unix or Linux systems, we recommend you test for the vulnerability immediately. Find out more and how to test for this exploit by following the link... (updated)
