mobility is transforming your business.


Mobile computing is one of the most disruptive forces in business today. It’s driving innovation as it opens the door to new business opportunities and new applications. It’s changing how and where people work. Mobile devices are no longer just a sidekick to the laptop, but the preferred platform for many applications.

The question is not “if” mobility will affect your business, but “how”. As you execute your mobile strategy, make sure that you have the security to control risk every step of the way. Make sure that your mobile devices are safely enabled for business use.

insecure mobile devices.


Mobile devices are attractive targets for cyber criminals. Not only do they hold vast amounts of data, but devices can be infected and used for further attacks. Mobile devices operate outside of the physical and network protections found on a corporate network, and are routinely used in environments that are untrustworthy at best, and sometimes downright hostile.

Users, despite the best of intentions, often remove basic protections provided by mobile operating systems. Like turning off security settings for the sake of convenience. Or jailbreaking a phone to run unsigned apps. As a result, an organization needs greater assurance that the device is in a secure state before extending access to business resources.

The combination of hostile opponents, unsafe environments, and misconfigured devices, are but a few drivers that illustrate the pressing need for mobile security.

mobile security requirements.


A comprehensive approach to mobile security requires the ability to support the following in an integrated manner:

Manage the Device: Ensure devices are safely enabled by configuring the device with proper security settings.

Protect the Device: Protect the mobile device from exploits and malware.

Control the Data: Enforce policies to control the users and devices that have access to applications and data.

GlobalProtect from Palo Alto Networks safely enables mobile devices for business use by providing a unique solution to manage the device, protect the device and control access to data.

GlobalProtect uses the Palo Alto Networks next-generation security platform, which provides core functionality to classify all traffic based on application, centrally enforce policy through a single pass engine, and protect the device with mobile threat prevention technologies. GlobalProtect extends these capabilities to manage and secure mobile devices no matter where they go in order to make them safe for business applications and data.
