According to the Mobility Progress Report, released yesterday, companies plan to focus on security and management of devices, with 35 percent stating they’ll make a bigger investment in encryption over the next two years. Security training was the number two program agencies said had been most helpful for employees, and was also the number three area where organizations said they could improve. Security was the number one roadblock (47 percent) agencies reported that stood between their agneices and increased mobility. The Mobile Work Exchange, a public-private partnership which focuses on the value of mobility for federal workers, interviewed 154 Federal IT mobility and telework executives for the study.
