The Changing Threat Landscape - Zift Solutions

Business Mobility
The average worker is now much
more mobile than ever before.
Business mobility is a critical part of
most commercial activity and customer
interaction.
According to Gartner, in 2007 40% of
new PC sales were for notebooks. It’s
estimated by DisplaySearch that this
percentage equates to 228.8 million
notebooks, which represents a tenfold
increase from the number sold in 2001.
This number was expected to climb
significantly in 2008, with the percentage
of new notebooks possibly equalling
desktop machines sold, for the first time
ever.
This mobility presents unique challenges,
as business notebooks are often used in
situations or environments where they are
generally outside a company’s security
infrastructure.
The combination of this new-found
mobility and the threat of malware
targeting sensitive corporate data
highlights the need for security software
development to respond accordingly, by
addressing these specific and consequential
business and technical needs.
