What are the most effective mobile device security policies for a distributed or hybrid environment?

Uma boa solu??o deve suportar todos sistemas operacionais de mercado preferidos pelos usuários, e n?o ser limitante com rela??o ao SO. Devem ainda entregar segura?a sem comprometer a experiência do usuário. Solu??es de gest?o moderna de UEM - Gest?o Unificadas de Endpoints, assim como DEX - Digital Employee Experience est?o disponíveis no mercado, como Workspace One da VMware, que entregam seguran?a para as empresas que focam no trabalho híbrido.

Define baseline profile by users role / device usage Ensure all deviation from the baseline are applied centerally to all devices in the same role / usage category any user initiated deviation with no previous official request must be treated as potential IOC unless there is a strong bussiness justification

The primary thing to understand are you device use cases and user personas, and the realisation that if you're not managing BYOD scenarios, or actively blocking it, that it *is* happening leaving data on personal devices exposed. Once you've got your head around what devices require access to what data and from where, it's defining users in and out of scope of device management and thus device security and data management. The tooling to manage devices will come after this, after reviewing what needs to be protected and how, working with security functions to define what level of protection is required, and any alignment to known good security frameworks. The technology is the easy bit, policy and user education take time to implement.

Network security Implement strong network security measures to safeguard data transmission between mobile devices and your organization's network. Use Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections to encrypt data over public networks, secure Wi-Fi connections with WPA3 encryption, and enforce secure authentication methods. Regularly update and patch your network infrastructure to address vulnerabilities and prevent unauthorized access.

Consider restricting operating systems that are on versions no longer supported. When using an MDM, there is usually an option to state which minimum version is allowed. Review each OS (Android, iOS) and see which is the least supported version and revoke access to the rest. Encourage staff to update regularly for their own security, and the company's.

Absolutely! User education is a critical component of a robust mobile device security strategy. When users are well-informed about potential threats and best practices, they become a proactive line of defense against security risks. Continuous training and reinforcement help create a security-conscious culture within the organization. If you have any specific points you'd like to include in a training program or if you want more information on a particular aspect of user education, feel free to let me know!

Data protection is a crucial pillar of mobile device security. Encrypting data, especially sensitive information, both at rest and in transit, adds an extra layer of defense against unauthorized access. Classification of data based on sensitivity is an excellent practice to tailor security measures according to the value of the information. If there are specific data protection measures or encryption standards you'd like to delve deeper into, or if you have any particular concerns, feel free to share!

If devices are BYOD, containerization of apps is vital. Keep work applications and personal applications separated. Data should not be allowed to be transferred between the two. Logging in to work resources via personal applications should also be blocked.
