Mobile device use in federal operations is continuing to spread rapidly. With that comes the requirement to not only manage but also secure these the devices and their applications.

In a recent conversation with Kern Smith, Vice President of Global Presales at Zimperium, we explored the increasing significance of mobile security in federal operations. Kern, with over a decade of experience in mobile security, shared expert insights on how federal agencies can navigate the constantly evolving landscape of mobile threats. This discussion, a three-part series, delves into the critical aspects of mobile security within federal agencies, focusing on emerging threats, regulatory requirements, and advanced defense strategies. With mobile devices becoming an integral part of federal operations, safeguarding these tools is essential to maintaining the integrity of government data and infrastructure.

Each session is designed to empower federal IT managers and cybersecurity experts with actionable insights and best practices tailored to the unique challenges of federal environments. Our expert-led discussions will help you stay ahead of mobile threats, ensure compliance with federal regulations, and implement industry-leading frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
