IT organisations are transforming their concept of traditional systems management as users demand greater choices in IT and expect faster, easier access to IT resources. These trends are driving IT to invest in new technologies, such as mobile management, virtualisation and delivery of applications in the cloud. These forces are changing the way that IT manages, supports, and tracks their infrastructure.

Symantec's new strategy around endpoint management & mobility enables IT organisations to deliver services via alternate computing architectures, whilst mitigating risk with safe, secure mobile computing.

This track includes sessions that feature best practices to help you optimise client and server management processes – regardless of the devices you employ. You will learn how to effectively control assets, reduce IT service costs, and manage and control service delivery processes from any location. In addition you will learn about new solutions that help manage Mac and a broad range of mobile devices, manage your infrastructure regardless of location, and effectively deliver applications and content across your environment.

This track is especially relevant for IT and business professionals and leaders responsible for:

• Mobile applications & security
• Identity & access management
• Infrastructure operations & systems management
• Information security

Beyond Mobile Management: The Complete Solution to Enterprise Mobility

By 2014 analyst predictions show that we'll have almost one billion connected mobile devices participating in our enterprise networks. By 2015 our employees will have two or more personally-owned devices connected to our networks. This marks a dramatic shift away from strictly controlled and closely managed IT-provisioned PCs. If you're managing endpoints, mobile devices, applications or security today, you need to know how to plan and respond to this imminent future. In this session, you will learn how Enterprise Mobility Management is going beyond MDM to help make a future bring-your-own-device (BYOD) world not only possible, but safe, secure and productive - and you'll see Symantec's roadmap for Enterprise Mobility Management and Security.

Solving BYOD: Securing Apps and Enterprise Data on Personal Mobile Devices

With a rapidly approaching bring-your-own-device (BYOD) world, where users expect rich native app experiences on every device they use, you need to understand how to go beyond a homogeneous "lowest common denominator" enterprise experience on all mobile devices. In this session, you will learn how new enterprise mobility management technologies are providing complete solutions by securing apps themselves, managing and encrypting app-associated enterprise data, and preventing data leakage on unmanaged mobile devices. You will also learn how to implement this through policy and remote over-the-air management of apps and their data; instead of relying solely on containers or device settings.

Android OS: Securing the Most Popular Open Source Platform in the Enterprise

The Android platform has come a long way in the last two years, and it is now a standard in most enterprise deployments and BYOD initiatives. However, securing and managing these devices is not as straightforward as securing and managing Apple iOS devices. With platform fragmentation, device diversity, multiple appstores and malware concerns, enterprises struggle to identify the right approach for Android security. We will address these concerns and talk about Symantec’s approach to securing data and apps on the Android platform. In this session, you will learn how to secure Android devices by using Symantec’s mobile device management and mobile security solutions.
