Locking Down the iPhone

The Apple iPhone has been a tremendous success for Apple and for AT&T Wireless in the consumer arena. It has had some issues competing in the enterprise though. Regardless of their 'official' acceptance in the enterprise, many users have iPhones and may be using them to connect with internal network resources, or to store or transmit sensitive company information. They either need to be banned, or there has to be some way to ensure they are used securely. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has developed an iPhone security benchmark that can help solve this problem. The CIS benchmark provides recommended guidance for configuring security on the iPhone itself, as well as advice for using the iPhone Configuration Utility tool developed by Apple.
