Discussion Topics
Providing access to mobile devices and access to enterprise-level applications is no longer something that financial firms are using on a trial basis. Today, executives, traders, portfolio managers and claims adjusters, to name a few, expect to have mobile access – and their appetite for anything and everything mobile continues to grow. Examples include:
•
This August’s market volatility, caused by the credit liquidity scare, traders and portfolio managers who were on vacation relied on their mobile devices to stay in contact with their trading desks.
•
During hurricane season, insurance representatives relied on mobile capabilities to service customers in areas heavily damaged by storms.
But as more employees are provided with mobile devices and a greater number of enterprise applications are made mobile accessible, security risks increase for financial services organizations. Financial firms need to make the applications easy to use on a mobile device while balancing the needs of the firm and the security of client data.
This discussion will provide an in depth look into the future of increased enterprise mobile usage and the security issues this will present with in the financial services market.
