"Businesses today are embracing a global and mobile employee base. Thanks to the need for a constant connection on the devices of our choice, the concept of a 'security perimeter' can be difficult to define," said Chris Richter, vice president of Global Security Services for CenturyLink. "Compounding matters is the unfortunate fact that public WiFi remains highly susceptible to hacking, and mobile devices are prime targets, which is why enterprises need secure mobility solutions that do not hinder performance and flexibility. Our customers need to be confident their employees' connections are secure regardless of connection type or device."
"With the expansion of remote and mobile workers, enterprises would be well-served to incorporate secure mobility as part of a comprehensive, cloud-based network security strategy, rather than an add-on, piecemeal approach," noted Christina Richmond, security service practice program director for IDC, a premier global market intelligence firm.
