Securing mobile devices

Nuno Luz — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 21:53:00 GMT

Exchange Server 2007 as added some cool new features for Windows Mobile Devices, like managing your Out Of Office and Fetch E-mail.

But also it also helps IT Administrators to secure company information on the devices and control potential security risks by enabling the new Exchange Activesync Mailbox Policies.

Now with Service Pack 1 you can do even more: not only the existing policies have been enhanced, but also new security policies have been introduced.

These new policies are divided into three major categories: Device Control, Application Control and Network Control. In order to implement these policies, not only you will need an Enterprise CAL, as well as a Windows Mobile 6.1 device.

Some of these policies include camera lock, application disallowance or even Wifi deactivation.

Applying them couldn´t be easier: all you need to do is create a new EAS policy and apply all your company's IT policies, and apply it to a user's mailbox. Of course that the user must have a Windows Mobile 6.1 device, or the device will cease to synchronize with the Exchange Server.

After the device synchronizes it will ask to reset in order to apply the new policies.

As soon as it reboots, the device is now secure and IT policies will have been applied.
