More companies today are adopting Apple products as mission critical enterprise devices for mobile work.  Using an iPad for a presentation, a MacBook for editing work, or an iPhone to check company email, the greater use of Apple devices has created new security issues for CIO's needing to secure each unique device.  With an already tight budget, many CIO's are looking to the cloud to reduce costs and simplify their IT infrastructure.

CenterBeam, specializing in hosted IT services, just announced a new service addressing the security of enterprise Apple products.  CenterBeams's Hosted Endpoint Management and Security service provides anti-virus and anti-spyware security software, centrally managed to ensure all a customer's devices remain protected against evolving security threats. The solution also includes patch management, software distribution, automated hard drive defragmentation, configuration management, asset tracking and optional data protection and web filtering.
