A new “Global Study on Mobility Risks” reveals that corporate mobile devices and the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) phenomenon are rapidly circumventing enterprise security and policies. Seventy-seven percent of more than 4,000 respondents in 12 countries agree that the use of mobile devices in the workplace is important to achieving business objectives. But 76 percent also believe that these devices put their organizations at risk—and only 39 percent have the necessary security controls to address the risk.
“IT has spent years working on desktop security and trying to prevent data loss over web and email channels—but mobile devices are radically changing the game,” said Tom Clare, senior director of Product Marketing Management. “Tablets and iOS devices are replacing corporate laptops as employees bring-their-own-devices to work and access corporate information. These devices open the door to unprecedented loss of sensitive data. IT needs to be concerned about the data that mobile devices access and not the device itself.”
According to a previous Ponemon Institute survey, IT respondents said 63 percent of breaches occurred as a result of mobile devices. And only 28 percent said employee desktop computers were the cause.(i)
Today’s research, conducted by the Ponemon Institute© and sponsored by content security provider Websense, Inc.® (NASDAQ: WBSN), is designed to help IT security professionals plan for an increasingly mobile workforce. The research shows that organizations often don’t know how and what data is leaving their networks through non-secure mobile devices. Traditional static security solutions such as antivirus (AV), firewalls, and passwords are not effective at stopping advanced malware and data theft threats from malicious or negligent insiders.

While we might expect social within the enterprise to be easy as Facebook or Twitter, it’s not. Deploying social technology within the enterprise is a journey filled with organizational hurdles that include compliance, security, culture change, executive sponsorship, budget and integration challenges to name just a few. In some organizations, this social journey begins when the business wants to embrace social before corporate IT is ready.
Often times the business seems to ignore these hurdles and the result is yet another silo of information — which, in actuality, becomes an unsanctioned content repository. The business, yes the business, seems to focus too much on technology, shiny new user interfaces, new smart phone applications or some marketing pitch about a “new way to work” and not enough on change management or the reality of a business world concerned about governance, risk, or compliance. Oh how “consumerization of IT” has turned the tables as it used to be the geeks in IT with the shiny new toys!
Enterprise social computing has quickly become a crowded and confusing market sector.
As the social technology space has evolved, it’s become difficult for anyone evaluating vendors to untangle the marketing hype and buzzword overload. Some vendors offer standalone social “suites” with a unique and separate technology stack running outside of existing enterprise systems. In other cases, functional or departmental business applications like eLearning, CRM or applications originally designed for enterprise wikis are all jumping into the social game with more “suite-like” functionality.

The Editor interviews Jo-Ellyn Sakowitz Klein, who leads Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP’s interdisciplinary privacy and data protection initiative.
Editor: Please tell our readers about your practice.
Klein: I advise clients primarily in the health, technology, professional sports and insurance industries on best practices and compliance with state and federal privacy and data protection laws. Clients typically approach me with privacy and data protection concerns arising in the course of their operations, in transactions and in connection with strategic planning, as well as when a data incident occurs.
Editor: In a September, 2011 article in this newspaper entitled “Legislative Proposals Compete As Privacy, Data Security, and Breach Notification Continue To Draw The Attention Of Federal Policymakers” to which you contributed, a number of measures introduced in both houses relating to data privacy were discussed. Did any of the measures become law?
Klein: None of the federal proposals have become law as of yet. There has been some discussion of adding data security and/or breach notification provisions to the cybersecurity bill that has seen some movement in the Senate, but its future remains unclear, as there are many critics both in and out of Congress. In terms of predictions for the near future, consumer privacy and data protection issues will continue to receive a lot of attention on the Hill, especially if companies experience more data breaches or other major snafus. Given the current climate and minimal appetite for compromise, however, it seems unlikely that Congress will enact a comprehensive consumer privacy bill this year. For any affected entity, it will be important to monitor the debate, understand how proposals would impact operations and make an active decision on whether to engage in the discussion.
