Secure business intelligence on apple mobile devices

Overview

The mobile revolution is upon us. Our information gathering behavior has changed through the 100,000s of specialised mobile apps. Gone are the days of performing a keyword search in a browser. Now, we simply find the appropriate app and download it.

These mobile applications are increasingly being leveraged by corporations to distribute relevant corporate data to their workforce. Mobile Business Intelligence ("BI") applications offer compelling ways for enterprises to share information with employees, customers, and partners wherever they need it.

Due to the nature of mobile devices, these applications ("apps") present new security challenges that must be
addressed by both the BI platform and the security capabilities of mobile devices. Data access, data transmission, and data storage must all be considered when deploying a complete and secure solution.

This paper will discuss the security capabilities of MicroStrategy Mobile on Apple's mobile devices. The combination of these two security feature sets provides enterprises with a flexible security architecture strong enough to protect your corporate information.
