Summary

This IDC study examines current attitudes in large and medium-sized Canadian organizations around the challenges of securing mobile environments.

Most Canadian organizations are aware of the need to secure their growing mobile environments, but few to date are addressing the issue comprehensively.

"Canadian organizations need to advance their mobile security environments so that they integrate seamlessly with mobile worker habits and business processes. Mobile solution providers can play a major role in this transition," says Marc Perrella, vice president, Technology Group, IDC Canada."
