Smartphones and tablets offer a host of advantages in both personal and professional use and have become a permanent fixture in everyday life. However, when handling sensitive information, mobile IT and communications technology is often used at the expense of security.

Secure mobile communication solutions for use in the federal administration must always aim to meet modern mobile working requirements as well as the strict security requirements that apply to the processing of sensitive data.

To guarantee security of supply for the federal administration, importance is also placed on finding multiple providers. Detailed information is provided in the brochure "Secure mobile working: problem, technical requirements and possible solutions based on the requirements for mobile end devices in the federal administration".
