MITRE/ATARC Mobile White Paper

Excerpt

Three key mobile topic areas:

• Mobile App Vetting Tools & Trends
• Mobile Pilot Challenges and Lessons Learned
• Access Control Patterns for the Mobile Device World

Key recommendations to government:

• OMB should provide agencies with clearer guidance on access control
  requirements, particularly in the area of “multi-factor” authentication
• Government should continue to evaluate access control solutions that have
  proven effective in other sectors such as finance, and the potential to adopt
  out-of-the-box solutions that provide adequate security
• Understand the challenges with modernizing legacy applications for mobile
  use
• Capture best practices and lessons learned from agencies going through this
  process
