The Mobility Hub Launched to Explore Security Issues

NEW YORK, June 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- TheMobilityHub.com launched today as an online community with a focus on enhancing security of mobile devices and applications in the workplace.

The Mobility Hub is designed for the senior IT managers and business executives responsible for securing mobile apps, optimizing performance, preventing data loss, and managing mobile connections to the enterprise securely, easily, and remotely.

It features news, analysis, commentary, and discussions on everything from the BYOD craze to remote management of devices in such highly regulated industries like finance, law, and health care. The site is published by UBM TechWeb and UBM DeusM, both UBM Technology companies. Good Technology is the exclusive sponsor.

"Three-quarters of all US corporations are developing mobile apps as the number of smart devices grows by 1 million a day. More than 1.1 billion mobile devices are already in use. Making sure that workers and customers can connect easily and collaborate safely is critical to any business today," said Terry Sweeney, editorial director for UBM DeusM.

Tom Murphy, who has covered the evolution of mobile services since their introduction, will oversee the community as editor in chief. Murphy, a group managing editor at UBM DeusM, previously covered mobile, other interactive technologies, and business for The Associated Press, Bloomberg News, Montgomery Research, RedHerring.com, and other major news organizations.
