Mobile Device Security – Final Practice Guide Published

Marisa Harriston

We are pleased to announce that NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide SP 1800-4 Mobile Device Security: Cloud and Hybrid Builds, is now final.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST's) National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) security engineers developed an example solution that demonstrates how commercially available technologies can meet your organization's needs to help secure sensitive enterprise data accessed by and/or stored on employees' mobile devices.

The example solution can improve security when accessing an organization’s sensitive email, contacts, and calendar information from users’ mobile devices. These technologies enable users to work inside and outside the corporate network with a security enhanced architecture while minimizing the impact on the user experience.

The final version of this practice guide, which incorporates comments from the public and other stakeholders, is available for download in PDF or web viewing.
