Automating Contract Workflows

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

Mobile is the way forward. 5G is a potential threat to your corporate Wi-Fi. Microsoft Exchange is forcing a move to the cloud, and cybercriminals are getting more and more advanced. What can you do to keep afloat amidst this sea of change in Infosec?

At Bridgeway, the solutions that we provide involve collaboration from a series of partner vendors, and these are reviewed regularly to ensure they are fit for purpose and suitable for our customers' long term strategies.

Heralded as Apple’s most important developer conference in years, the annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in California revealed groundbreaking new developments in everything from new hardware to a new iPad operating system and a revamped iOS 13. So what does this mean for enterprises using managed mobile devices, and in particular their IT staff, the end-users, and the organisation as a whole?

So what was the vision for the future from MobileIron at their Live! event in Berlin this month? Well it centred around password-less access to cloud services, instead using biometrics together with photo verification. A vision that will see the removal of the biggest weakness in Cloud, in fact IT, security. This coupled with the controls provided by the MobileIron platform to not only authenticate the user but also the device and the application, provide a robust security offering for the future of cloud service access.

It's becoming increasingly common to use WhatsApp for work. This popular app once used solely for social messaging between friends,  is now showing up more often in the workplace. We've even seen reports that at G8 conferences, teams of negotiators use WhatsApp for realtime collaboration with colleagues and even sending tentative proposals between teams.

The world of emerging tech is complex and often daunting. We can quickly get used to shutting ourselves away, confined within our own working environment and left to deal with all the various struggles and challenges that arise by ourselves - or if you’re lucky enough, with a supportive team. That’s why at Bridgeway we host our Cloud & Mobile Security Forum events, because we hear how valuable it is for IT professionals to come together outside the office with peers and share their challenges, issues and ways to overcome them. 

During this current decade we have gone from $37bn to over $96bn worth of annual information security spending, yet by whatever metric you want to use - the number of data breaches or the number of viruses for example - the picture is rather bleak. We’re spending more money but we’re getting more security breaches, so something isn’t working. The focus needs to shift; Mobile First or Cloud First is all well and good, but what about the user?
