Companies across the world are turning to wireless technologies to mobilize their workforces and extend enterprise applications and data to the field. Mobility brings competitive advantages through personal contact, resource flexibility and streamlined processes enabling companies to enhance revenue generation, increase productivity and improve customer relationships. Already 40 million strong, the mobile worker population is growing 9% each year according to IDC, and, by 2004, Gartner Group estimates that 65% of Global 2000 companies will offer their mobile workforce some type of wireless access to critical business applications. But where mobile workers roam, security issues follow. This white paper identifies, from a technical perspective, the main security challenges facing enterprises today when implementing and supporting the four types of mobile applications illustrated below: mobile server-based applications, WAP applications, VPN applications and WLAN-based applications. The paper begins with a discussion of cryptography, the primary security technique underlying all mobile communications. Next, the paper describes each of the four mobile application types and presents specific security issues and recommended solutions. Lastly, the paper gives a brief overview of some of the security challenges surrounding the use of mobile devices.
