Mobile Security Framework Improves Access and Threat Protection

 IBM is announcing risk-based authentication control for mobile users, integration of access management into mobile application development and deployment as well as enhanced mobile device control. IBM is also announcing a comprehensive Mobile Security Framework to help organizations develop an adaptable security posture to protect data on the device, at the access gateway and on the applications.

With the launch of its new access management capabilities, IBM now offers greater context aware access control for mobile users, improved mobile threat protection, and enhanced mobile device control. With a broad portfolio of solutions for mobile security and management – including solutions for mobile application security and mobile security intelligence, IBM can help protect against security breaches, whether malicious or unintentional through risky employee access of data and applications - anytime, anywhere from any device.

Furthermore, with the simplicity of these mobile devices making them pervasive and seamlessly integrated into consumers’ everyday lives, new threats are evolving based on popular mobile-based activities such as retail purchases, managing bank accounts and updating social networks. The ubiquitous nature of mobility across both businesses and consumers requires that securing the smartphone encompass the device, the network and the applications on the device so that employees, consumers and even partners know their transactions are being executed across a secure environment.
