Secure Your Mobile Devices with DUST

Mobile, Wireless, Security, Compliance, DUST Model

Mobile devices are a critical component of enterprise communications and a core element of unified communications. They used to just be phones, but now they are more like tiny micro-laptops that fit in a pocket. With that increased functionality and ability to store massive amounts of data comes an acutely greater need for security.

An industry analyst firm has developed a model for managing mobile security and compliance. The DUST Model for Managing the Risk to Enterprise Mobility establishes guidelines and provides a framework for end-to-end compliance practices and security controls.

The guidelines have four primary components that make up the DUST:

  • Devices
  • Users
  • Sessions
  • Transactions

You can get more details on the DUST Model from this CRG Research Brief.
