CTO Opinion: iPhone Security for Enterprise is Relative
Sunday, July 1st, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
The discussion about the existence of the iPhone on corporate networks and its security has been somewhat on the alarmist side. BlackBerrys may have good security features, but the rest of the network may be suspect, according to Jim Damoulakis writing for Computerworld.
In fact, corporate data extends beyond just the internal network to "desktop computers, remote offices, employees’ homes and laptops, USB drives, and, yes, phones," the CTO of GlassHouse Technologies wrote.
As a result, those who have jumped at the chance to criticize the iPhone as not suitable for corporate networks really need to reassess their situation. In the last year, we’ve had horrific stories about notebook computers that were taken home without encryption, then stolen. All those gigabytes of [personal data] makes a few contacts and e-mails on a lost BlackBerry pale in comparison.
It’s true that a lost BlackBerry can be wiped out remotely, and the iPhone doesn’t yet have that formal capability. [It may be coming though.]
The conclusion was that before IT managers in a glass house start to throw stones at the iPhone, they should stop to consider their priorities. If a BlackBerry is more secure than their own Windows-based networks and extensive ways for data to leak out by other means, then maybe the iPhone is the least of their problems.
