Tech Brief: Put your mobile strategy to work for agency transformation

There are more mobile devices than people in the world. Most likely, you and other federal employees are completely comfortable navigating life around a personal smartphone. More than three quarters of Americans do — using it for everything from reading to connecting with friends to tracking your health. So why are so many federal agencies still stuck in the PC era, and what’s keeping them from capitalizing on the inherent productivity gains that a mobile strategy can provide? What may be surprising: Your agency may already have the available mobility tools needed to boost workforce productivity, enhance mission outcomes and improve security, according to a new tech brief on mobile strategies in government. Mobile Myopia Too often in the federal workforce, “mobile” means remote access to work email and calendars — and stops there. Employees find themselves chained to their desks to perform tasks that they could do faster, more […]

Hot Air Surgery Revives a Cheap Windows Tablet

[Jason Gin] recently wrote in to tell us about his adventures replacing the eMMC storage chip on a cheap Windows tablet, and we have to say, it’s an impressive amount of work for a device which apparently only cost him $15.

Closing the gaps in federal endpoint security

A new CyberScoop study shows government agencies are making varying progress implementing methods to secure mobile smartphones, tablets, sensors, wearables and other endpoint devices accessing their networks. However, the growing proliferation of devices accessing agency networks -including employees’ personal devices – is also increasing attack surface area for cyber threats. More than half of agency IT officials are concerned about network attacks from endpoint devices. And while 6 in 10 say securing government-issued mobile devices is a top concern over the next 12 to 18 months, many may be overlooking technologies they already have or own to address security concerns. This online survey, conducted by CyberScoop and underwritten by Samsung, provides a new snapshot of what matters most to federal IT and security leaders in securing endpoint devices accessing their networks — and where key gaps remain.  The study surveyed qualified federal government information technology and cybersecurity officials who have […]
