Flexible working law ups need for secure mobility

The new flexible working law will bring great benefits for employees and employers alike – but only if the issue of secure mobility is raised to the top of the business agenda.

Effective remote working requires fast, easy and ubiquitous access to a secure network and key corporate data if it is to deliver tangible business value based on staff working smarter rather than harder.

After years of trialling ill-conceived flexible working strategies, organisations now need to deploy effective, reliable and secure mobile technologies more than ever. If implemented correctly, mobile technologies can enable employees to maximise their working days, even adding business value.

While very concerned about employing the most advanced technology in terms of providing the most convenient customer service, such as online payments and web-based kiosks in store, businesses are still reluctant to invest in the most effective security tools to protect their own servers and networks. This is clearly a false economy. In order for a business to run at maximum capacity, security has to be inherent in every aspect of the corporate IT infrastructure, from servers to end points.

Having a mobile workforce need not mean risky business. With the correct deployment of technology and the implementation of effective security policies, organisations can create a secure mobile workforce that delivers tangible competitive advantage.

Yours sincerely,
