Speaker: Jock Purnell

Topic: Apple in the Enterprise (iPads/iPhones and Macs)

Description:
With the interest in deploying Mac's, iPad's, and iPhones in the enterprise increasing, this presentation will examine how to do so responsibly. Obviously, they must be deployed in a secure manner, which includes both Security practices on the devices, as well as the implications of using cloud based storage offerings. Over the years, we've developed ways of deploying PC's both reliably and productively. Some of these same practices can and should be applied to Macs and iPhones/iPads, and there are tools available to do so. Some of the specific topics to be discussed include:

- Security aspects of Mac's, iPhones, and iPads
- Tools for managing
- Ways to distribute images and profiles, and restrict application access
- Security aspects of Cloud Based storage offerings
- Integration with Active Directory and Group Policies

BIO: Jock spent 30 years at IBM as a Senior SE and Global Services Network Consultant/Engineer and now runs his own IT Services company.  Since leaving IBM, he has spent more time using Apple solutions, so is qualified to review how they fit into an enterprise setting.
