HR-held data, such as employees\u2019 bank account information (for automatic deposit of paychecks) and Social Security numbers, are often the target of these attacks.","saveContent":"Vanderbilt University Medical Center has selected VMware Workspace ONE to provide mobile device management for staff who use their personal smartphones and tablets to conduct VUMC business.To maintain access to VUMC email from their personal devices, employees are being required to enroll in Workspace ONE for mobile device management by Feb. 1, 2020.The requirement is part of VUMC\u2019s bring your own device (BYOD) policy as the healthcare organization attempts to balance security and convenience while addressing the inherent risks from the proliferation of personal devices used for work.\u201cSecurity, compliance concerns, privacy issues and data loss are all risk factors when using VUMC resources from unsecured, personal devices,\u201d according to VUMC\u2019s Enterprise Cybersecurity office. \u201cAdditional measures of protection like MDM can be used to make VUMC resources available securely from any device, anywhere.\u201dWorkspace ONE, which is currently available for download from VUMC Enterprise Cybersecurity, encrypts the mobile device, installs a VUMC email configuration and requires a passcode to access the device.
