Abstract:
Mobile devices have created a situation where system-focused security may not be sufficient in an environment where security requirements can change depending on the location of a mobile device. The security on a network at a corporate company may be different in a boardroom, where sensitive information is discussed and acted upon, than at an employee's desk, where the employee works with his normal line of business application. The Neo Model is a conceptual model that describes a hypothetical black box, called the Neo device, which uses secure containers and mutual authentication to connect to specialised gateway controllers. The gateway controllers have the ability to control and manage the Neo devices to ensure that specialised secure containers can be provisioned to Neo devices and activated or deactivated, depending on where the Neo device is physically located on the network. The Neo Model allows companies to define security controls that is applicable depending on where the mobile device is located on the network.
