Small and medium businesses (SMBs) can better safeguard their mobile data from theft and viruses with today’s launch of Optus OfficeApps Mobile Security. As the newest addition to the OfficeApps cloud portfolio, the service gives business owners and their staff the power to protect important personal and business data stored on mobile devices.
With OfficeApps Mobile Security, SMBs have the ability to lock, wipe and reset the password of any device within their business from the OfficeApps portal or from another mobile phone. Data held on any device is also protected by anti-virus software. The service is underpinned by Optus OfficeApps support to help customers get up and running quickly and provide ongoing technical assistance
With increasing numbers of small businesses investing in smartphones and tablets and with over 500 different malware variants currently in existence, the need to protect business data has become ever more vital. According to research conducted by Jones Donald Strategy Partners, 50 per cent of Australian SMBs currently use smartphones and nine per cent use tablets within their business. Furthermore, 49 per cent of SMBs are planning to buy smart phones and 29 per cent tablets in the next 12 months1.
Rohan Ganeson, Managing Director, Optus SMB said, “OfficeApps Mobile Security addresses the concerns many SMBs have about protecting confidential information on mobile devices. As the amount of information shared between smartphones and tablets within a small business increases, the security of these devices becomes paramount. Optus has developed OfficeApps Mobile Security to directly mitigate these concerns.
“SMBs now have access to many powerful and user-friendly security tools already being used by bigger businesses, but at a lower cost and without the hassle of IT set-up and maintenance.”
