In the last three years, the number of councils in Greater London that have reported stolen or lost mobile devices has risen by more than 100%, according to Freedom of Information data. 

We meet the trainees who have completed MobileIron training course here at Bridgeway HQ.

All organisations are targets for cyber attacks. But law firms are being targeted more and more by criminals. Why is this?

Initially, when moving to using cloud services many organisations look at individual services, not a full lift and shift. Many larger organisations can not migrate in a big bang approach due to time, resource and cost. The typical first step is email - and then more often than not, Microsoft Office 365 (O365.)

You may be aware that MobileIron introduced 'per user' licensing a couple of years ago. This is a surprisingly powerful way to achieve substantial cost savings for your mobility project, as each user licence can cover up to three assigned devices, yet each user licences costs roughly only 50% more than an equivalent single device licence cost. 

The risks posed by inactive (dormant) users present on an organisation's servers are a potential goldmine for malicious attackers but also serve to highlight poor user management processes. Indeed, both the ISO 27001 control framework and the PCI DSS information security standard require organisations to monitor, act, and also report on these inactive users.

If you’re looking at implementing CASB (cloud access security brokers), you’ve probably begun to realise there are a myriad of options out there and they’re all designed slightly differently. So how do you know what you need?

Materials costs rose by 4.8% between February 2016 and February 2017. This coupled with a chronic shortage of skilled labour, means construction firms across the UK are reporting increased pressure on margins, leading many firms to absorb these costs in an attempt to stay competitive. But how sustainable can that be?

Often we can overlook the need for the right level of skills to successfully administer our EMM software on an ongoing basis. Being trained on your EMM or MDM solution is crucial when dealing with new technology, so that your leading-edge technology stays that way and doesn’t become a bleeding-edge project instead. It will give you the required knowledge needed to install, configure, deploy and manage the solution effectively, but it can also have wide reaching opportunity gains throughout the business.

Once you find an Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) solution that can manage your mobile estate, secure and manage your endpoints and cloud services, can you just sit back and relax? The answer is probably no.  

What's the biggest challenge you currently face in your mobility project?

• How to increase productivity whilst remaining secure?
• User resistance to acceptance of new devices, technologies and associated policies?

‘I’m increasingly convinced that people are spending their information security budgets in the wrong places’, said our Sales Director Paul O’Sullivan when I spoke with him earlier this week.

We sat down together to discuss the current state of the security marketplace and why it might be time for IT professionals to reconsider where they are spending their budget.

Bridgeway are delighted to announce that our customers and prospective customers can now purchase Cloud Software services from us, through the G-Cloud 10 framework that has come into effect today, Monday 2nd July.

Network access control is no longer just for performing assessments on known devices before access. You can’t secure what you can’t see, meaning that security starts with visibility of all devices.

Designed to address this, the ClearPass Policy Manager is a comprehensive platform providing users with:

Consider the following: Joe, an engineer, logged into the source code repository at 10pm last night and downloaded 500MB of data. Meanwhile, the new head of the legal team, Sally, has been logging into the network from West London and Dublin—at the same time.

Pete, an analyst, is accessing a critical finance application that he has never used before, and Claire, one of your sysadmins, has been accessing the customer database after normal work hours every evening for the last two weeks.

Earlier this week we wrote about how the emergence of cloud and IoT have shifted security priorities from arbitrary boundaries towards the protection of data.

Whilst traditional perimeter security cannot be ignored, potential threat vectors are proliferating by the day, and it is here that new approaches—such as user and entity behaviour analytics (UEBA)—help keep your information safe.

Can you confidently say who is connecting to your network?

The prevalence of attacks from inside networks demonstrates that perimeter-based security is outdated and insecure. New insider threats now evolve from within the organisation. Network access control has never been more critical.

As mobility projects become more strategic, many Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) customers are turning to cloud-first strategies to improve their services and reduce the risk from network or server outages.

Moving a mobility project from a purely tactical deployment to a strategic one is a big challenge faced by today’s IT project managers. Tactics are one thing, but translating these into an actionable Mobile IT strategy that achieves the project goals is another.

It’s not always easy to be transparent about the challenges you face managing an enterprise Mobile IT project. But as the saying goes, a problem shared is a problem halved.

What if you could unleash the power of all that data in your MobileIron console and turn it into actionable, insightful data? Well with IronWorks, the new MobileIron reporting platform (and first of its kind) you can do exactly that. Coming soon!

Interested in moving your Mobile IT project from tactical to strategic? Do you want to know how to give your mobility project the best possible chance of success? Last week, we brought together a group of IT security professionals from a range of industry sectors to our latest Mobile IT User Forum to discuss all of the above.

How do you guarantee your Mobile IT project is a success? The million dollar question.

The event began with Bridgeway MD Jason Holloway introducing the themes of the day. MobileIron, a leader in Enterprise Mobility Managment, then gave an overview of the changing mobility landscape, and the resulting impact on IT management, security and the users experience. We then heard an interesting talk and live demonstration from startup Fliplet on ‘how to build an enterprise mobile app in 20 minutes’ – showcasing how rapidly apps can be developed and deployed.
