NIST Publishes "Mobile Device Security: Cloud and Hybrid Builds"

March 12, 2019

Folks, I warn you at the outset that this is not light reading. At 191 pages, this is a whale of dense but critical information. NIST "Special Publication 1800-4, Mobile Device Security: Cloud and Hybrid Builds" is available for download for free here. There is an Executive Summary, which may suffice for those of you in management.

To quote from the abstract: "The document proposes a reference design on how to architect enterprise-class protection for mobile devices accessing corporate resources. The example solutions presented here can be used by any organization implementing an enterprise mobility management solution. This project contains two distinct builds: cloud and hybrid. The cloud build makes use of cloud-based services and solutions, while the hybrid build achieves the same functionality but hosts the data and services within an enterpriseʼs own infrastructure. The example solutions and architectures presented here are based upon standards-based, commercially available products."

As most organizations seem to do a lousy job of mobile device management, you might assign reading this to your CIO or cybersecurity staff.
