Mobile Device Management Change Initiative Plan
With the growing volume of content, number of applications and information accessed via various devices, Mobile Device Management (MDM) initiative is vital in the management of the mobile enterprise. MDM is more than the ordinary management of devices because it includes system-centered functionality to manage and secure applications and data. MDM is a crucial element of the device life circle, encompassing the device software, hardware, and related services. It requires full cycle management: the IT department is fully responsible for devices owned by the company such as application support, OS standards, and enterprise liability. Although most employees use both smart phones and computers to access the company's IT services, MDM will enable them use more than two devices (Upadhyaya, 2012). This is because the diversity of these devices had been growing exponentially. As such, the company must embark on a long-term vision based on the…...

Mobile Device Security
Factors and Implementation of Mobile Device Security

Mobile devices have become ubiquitous and its usage is only going up from here. With such an extensive usage of mobile devices for personal and business use, its security becomes an important question. Most devices ado not have the security mechanism in place in the case of a theft, loss or intentional breach of the network and this makes the data present it in extremely vulnerable. This paper examines the importance of mobile security and how it can be implemented for greater protection.

Wireless technology has undergone tremendous improvements in the last few years. The capacity and performance have increased multifold and today, the amount of applications and services that can be accessed through the mobile device is staggering. Many different media can be stored and retrieved easily and more importantly, these can be uploaded and downloaded from the internet within minutes. All…...

Mobile Devices and Importance of Research
The importance of this research surrounds the manner in which mobile devices are transforming modern life -- not just smartphones, but tablets, smaller laptops, integration into automobile and televisions and a commercial transaction that will top $3.2 trillion by 2017 compared to $1.5 trillion in mid-2013. This is astounding when one realizes that a sampling of consumers from some stores show that 80% of their clientele use their mobile device to do research and over 1/2 of those surveyed used their mobile device for some sort of shopping resource in April 2013 (Dishman, 2013). Since 2010, in fact, was a watershed year for merchants and the idea of increasing their presence for mobile devices; in fact merchants are increasingly looking to increase their mobile presence based on the fact that the costs are far less than many overly complex e-commerce sites (See Figure 1). (Siwicki,…...

oth of these devices "allow handwritten data entry including sketching with 'electronic ink' and handwriting recognition that converts scribble into typewritten text." (Wales and Zabrek, 2003)
Full integration with hospital servers of these devices is required to realize the full benefits of these devices. These mobile devices "facilitate the entry of data for storage and processing at the servers. y storing hospital data on servers rather than on the mobile devices, a number of advantages are realized. One is that servers, unlike mobile devices, have prodigious amounts of storage capacity. In addition, if data is stored on the servers, security is enhanced. If the mobile computer is lost or stolen, there is less concern that sensitive patient data will fall into unauthorized hands, and information technology staff can centrally manage hospital information including that displayed on PDAs, smartphones, and tablet computers. With data centralized on servers, it is possible for…...

It is true that the interaction and unity of people during those days was heavily dependent on the usage of mobile technology and Internet (Yu, 2004).
However, many people were also arrested by the police for disseminating facts in a negative or humorous way through Internet or SMS services. Thus, they were imprisoned for the reason that their jokes and rumors arose confusion and a sense of hopelessness as they negatively used the mentioned mediums to fill the gap of correct official information ("ACHIVED: Commentary No. 89: China and the Internet," 2012). It is exceedingly significant to say that the government in China needs to realize and understand the regulatory policies concerning Internet and should try to comply with the human rights issues in a sensible and conscientious manner. This comprehension and insight carries great weight as it was due to the disconnection with the rest of the countries that…...

As most users, are averaging about three hours a day conducting a wide variety activities. It is at this point that hackers can be able to penetrate these vulnerabilities to use them as a backdoor inside a company's database. Once this occurs, is when there is the possibility that the situation will become worse as more criminals will utilize this as an easy way to overcome the challenges of going directly after a firm's initial blocks. This is important, because it is showing how there are increased vulnerabilities that these phones have due to the lack of effective security. (Coleman, 2011)
To make matters worse, many firms have begun using cloud computing as way to store large amounts of information. This is when they have significant pieces data on an organization's mainframe.

Abstract - With regard to security, the major issue is that most mobile devices are targets that are in line to face attacks. Mobile devices face a range of threats that capitalize on several susceptibilities usually obtained in such devices. Lack of encryptions is a major threat to security of mobile device networks. Information such as text messages and electronic messages that are sent using a mobile device are more often than not unencrypted. Furthermore, numerous mobile device applications lack such encryptions over the networks for transmission and reception and therefore simplify the process of data interception. Malware is an additional problem regarding mobile device networks. It is simple for mobile device users to download malware through games and security patches and also through online advertisements. Consequently, this makes it significantly easy for data interception owing to spyware and Trojans. The lack of security software is also a major issue.…...

Technological advancements have increasingly revolutionized H practice, especially in the area of employee orientation and training. Today, mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets can be used to quicken and enliven the process of orientating and training new employees (Lawson, 2015). Mobile devices now come with powerful features that enable easier and more convenient delivery of information to new employees. The information may relate to aspects such as contacts and images of key employees, organizational values and policies, as well as individual roles and responsibilities. Instead of organizing training and orientation sessions or workshops at the organization's board room, this information can be sent to one's email for access during their convenient time and place. Today's mobile devices have applications that support virtually all types of documents, from Microsoft Word and Excel to Portable Document Format (PDF). The appropriateness of incorporating mobile devices in employee orientation and training is…...

Security: Mobile Protection As the Internet has become the dominant means of communicating, sharing information, tending to business, storing data, and maintaining records in the Digital Age, the importance of security for the digital world has become more and more realized (Zhang et al., 2017). Not only do companies have to invest in digital security in order to safeguard against threats and risks such as hacking or malware, but individuals also have to be cognizant of the threats to their personal information and property now that all things are online. This is particularly important for people to consider given that so many individuals today carry around pocket computers in the form of a mobile phone—an iPhone, a smart phone, a tablet, an iPad—all of these devices require mobile protection as they can link up to and connect to the Internet wherever one goes (so long as one is within range of…...

Mobile Device Security
Analysis of Routing Optimization Security for Mobile IPv6 Networks

Defining and Implementing Mobility Security Architectures

Approaches to defining, implementing and auditing security for mobility devices have become diverse in approach, spanning from protocol definition and development including IPv6 through the creation of secure mobile grid systems. The wide variation in approaches to defining security for mobility devices has also shown the critical need for algorithms and constraint-based technologies that can use constraint-based logic to isolate and thwart threats to the device and the network it is part of. The intent of this analysis is to evaluate the recent developments in constraint-based modeling and network logic as represented by mobile IPv6 protocols and the role trust management networks (Lin, Varadharajan, 2010). These networks are predicated on algorithms that are used authenticating the identity of specific account holders, in addition to defining a taxonomy of the factors that most closely resemble their…...

It is the most ambitious option yet also the greatest in terms of retaining and gaining customers over time. It would literally include integrating supply chain, pricing, manufacturing, logistics, field service and customer service all together into an enterprise platform. In effect a Service oriented Architecture (SOA) with integration to Cloud Computing services and platforms (Birch, 37) would need to be completed. This would also rely on real-time data from manufacturing and distribution through FID systems integration which would in effect many the entire company customer-centric and demand-driven (Wang, Chen, Xie, 2512, 2513).

Mobile phones can also be used to create 'experiential' classes: "Images can be captured and uploaded to the Web through mobile weblogs (moblogs)…a team from Umea University in Sweden moblogged Jokkmokk's 399th Annual Sami Winter Market. Students applied their academic learning about the Sami to the real world, interviewing participants, conducting follow-up digital research on the fly, and uploading and expanding on commentary online" (Alexander 2004). The classroom spilled out conference, and all students in the class participated simultaneously, in a way they could not, had they traveled through the conference as a group or reported back to the classroom as individuals.

m-Learning thus has several demonstrable benefits. The first is its ease of access, where updated information and alerts can be sent immediately. It also offers options to pace a student's study so it is compatible with the student's other lifestyle demands. A student can learn while on the commuter…...
