Mobility Market

Today's businesses have embraced mobile computing as a way to increase productivity, lower costs and enhance workplace flexibility. Rather than simply a traveling salesperson or executive, a mobile worker is now synonymous with any worker with a laptop. This broader definition has led to a rise in laptop deployments and a new set of challenges for companies trying to make mobility simple, seamless and secure for end-users.

By 2007, Gartner* predicts that:

• Telework will be practiced by more than 60 million people.
• More than 66 percent of workers will use mobile and wireless computing.
• Flexible work schedules will be available to 40 percent of all workers.
  

With one of the largest networks in the world, operating in more than 150 countries, Fiberlink is uniquely positioned to handle this growth trend and provide mobile professionals with reliable, flexible access from virtually anywhere in the world. While mobile computing has the potential to make workers more productive, it is nearly impossible for IT managers to keep up with the increasing security threats that mobility presents. Fiberlink's multi-layered approach to security integrates existing VPN, anti-virus, anti-spyware, patch management, personal firewall, and device hardening solutions, as well as real-time remediation of vulnerabilities, to provide persistent, always-on protection of mobile endpoints.
