The unstoppable BYOD trend is crossing over to the mainstream and continues to impact the way businesses must think about and address mobile productivity. Users are mastering mobile devices on their own time and are using them as time-saving tools, creating increased demand on businesses to respond with appropriate policies and technologies to keep their data safe. Symantec’s Internet Security Threat Report, released today, highlights a 58 percent increase in mobile threats targeting these devices, with almost a third designed to steal information. Symantec already offers the broadest array of technologies to keep mobile business data safe, and we have recently added several more items to that list with new updates to the Symantec Mobile Management Suite.

Hillsborough County Public Schools, located in Southwestern Florida, is one of the largest school districts in America, covering a total area roughly the size of Rhode Island. Over the last 10 years, the school district saw not only an influx in students, but also in the use of technology in schools. With over 267 school sites and more than 85,000 endpoints, it became imperative to select a solution that was not only simplified but also centrally managed. To resolve this issue, Sharon Zulli and the IT department, selected a variety of solutions from Symantec. As a result all 85,000 endpoints are secure and can be remotely managed for convenience to faculty and staff. Risk posture was improved, but most of all management was simplified with automatic updates that deploy quickly and efficiently. To learn more about how Symantec solutions helps simplify endpoint management and security, check out this CIO Digest article http://bit.ly/...
