Novell® Filr Secure Mobile File Access for the Enterprise

© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. 2

How users used to access files

• Mostly in the office and inside the firewall

• Sometimes remote using a slow VPN connection

• All file sharing managed by IT

• Users turned e-mail into a file server

Now I got 82 e-mails about this document

New challenges for IT

• Corporate files copied to cloud services

• Inside the firewall access controls don’t apply

• Potentially exposing sensitive information

• Regulatory compliance at risk

Our confidential files are all over the net

Cloud services challenges

• Outages = NO file access

• Potential security breaches

• High bandwidth consumption

• Time consuming up/downloads

• Additional management efforts

• Regulatory compliance issues

Conclusion: cloud file services are not viable for most enterprises

• IT cannot stop this trend

• Cost savings and productivity gains

• Cannot be left un-managed

Mobile device management (MDM)
