ComputerWeekly reports that the UK Government has approved Windows Phone 8
handsets for use in public sector Bring Your Own Device schemes.
The new End User Devices Security and Configuration Guidance policy was
issued this week by CESG, the information security arm of GCHQ, and lays out
the policy details the security rules that must be followed for any mobile
devices that can access government data.
The list specifies a wide variety of operating systems, including iOS6,
Android 4.2 and Windows Phone 8, and requires the phones to be placed in a
“known good state” by hard resetting the handset before being enrolled
under the management of government IT.
“The critical aspect is that the enterprise takes over the management of
the device via a device provisioning process and is able to control all
relevant aspects of it throughout the time it accesses official information,
” the document says.
The new policy is currently a draft or Beta version, and CESG is seeking
further feedback from government departments.
The approval of Windows Phone 8 for government use should open up new
markets for the platform in UK, where it has already been winning business
from Blackberry, and where it has a cost advantage over iOS and a security
advantage over Android. |
