Architect’s Guide: Mobile Security Using TNC Technology

This Architect’s Guide gives a basic framework for mobile security based on industry-standard TNC technologies from the Trusted Computing Group. Network designers can use this as a starting point for their own deployment, and can see best practices learned from over five years of real-world deployment of network access control in organizational networks.

Mobility means empowering staff to work when and where they want, not just when they are chained to their desk. The traditional desktop computer is no longer the center of the end-user security universe. Staff are using laptops, smart phones, and tables in the office, at home, and on the road.

Mobile Security means managing access to corporate networks to maximize the value to staff, contractors, and even guests with mobile devices, while minimizing risk to the organization.

Both commercial and open source developers have embraced technology from the Trusted Computing Group's (TCG's) Trusted Network Connect (TNC) working group to build products ideally suited for implementing mobile security.
