Data Security Mobile data security by Massimo Migliuolo, Vice President for the Global Mobile Vertical at Cisco Systems The rapid growth of broadband mobile data in Africa and the Middle East brings with it a series of challenges, including the question of Internet Protocol security. Unresolved security concerns could seriously hamper the widespread adoption of wireless data products and services. Operators who are not prepared to address security issues will face severe competitive pressures and, if the sector as a whole ignores the problem, government regulators are likely to impose solutions that could be costly and difficult to implement. Massimo Migliuolo is currently the Vice President for the Global Mobile Vertical at Cisco Systems. On August 1, 2006, he will take on a new role as Cisco Systemsʼ Vice President of Service Providers in Emerging Markets. Previously, Massimo Migliuolo worked at Lucent Technologies and at AT&T, where he was engaged in the development of their mobile market. Mr Migliuolo spent three years in the oil industry, before joining the telecommunications industry. Massimo Migliuolo graduated from the Bocconi University in Milan with a degree in Business Economics. The revenue for delivering wireless data is already exceeding most industry predictions in the Middle East and Africa region, MEA, which is growing faster than Western, Central and Eastern Europe. Spending on wireless data services in MEA is forecast to reach US$9 billion in the next three years. The use of cellular and wireless networks to deliver voice, video and data content brings a new dimension to the broadband market and represents an exciting new source of revenue and margin for mobile operators. It also, however, introduces them to an unfamiliar world of business and technical challenges, particularly in respect to Internet protocol, IP security. Our research indicates that in order to be successful in this potentially lucrative market, mobile operators must address the challenges of security. If left unresolved, customersʼ security concerns could become a serious obstacle to the widespread adoption of wireless data technology, products and services. If mobile operators are perceived as not adequately able to address the problems, other vendors could enter the space, or government regulators could impose solutions that are difficult and costly to implement. By successfully managing network security concerns, mobile operators can expand their revenue opportunities in two ways: first, by offering a new set of basic services to an ever-wider customer base; and second, by charging for select IP security solutions as value-added services. Consumer and enterprise security concerns Consumer and enterprise customers share several security concerns, including secure mobile content and access control, but each also faces independent challenges, such as the assurance of business continuity and service guarantees on the part of enterprise customers (Table 1). Spam: clogging inboxes While spam is not strictly a security concern, it is an unwanted and potentially expensive nuisance. Spam can often bypass anti-spam filters and appear in e-mail inboxes. The potential to receive unwanted text messages on Table 1: Consumer and Enterprise Security Concerns mobile phones poses an even greater concern as consumer and enterprise customers do not want these messages clogging their inboxes and diminishing their expensive mobile minutes. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission, FCC voted in August 2004 to ban all unauthorized text messages to mobile phones and pagers unless the user has given prior permission. A mobile data service will need to block spam not just to meet regulatory requirements but also, and perhaps more importantly, to meet customer demand for a clean inbox.
