FDIC Information Technology Strategic Plan: 2017 - 2020: Goal 3

Goal 3
Enterprise Mobility

Devices and applications enable authorized users to conduct their business securely with the FDIC from any location

DESCRIPTION

Mobile technologies allow authorized users of FDIC applications to conduct their work in new ways that improve efficiency and increase flexibility. The CIOO and business divisions will work together to determine how best to use mobile technologies to serve business needs.

OBJECTIVE 3.1

Ensure adequate network connectivity is available in all FDIC facilities and financial institutions

The FDIC’s future mobile workforce operating model will address network connectivity needs for different categories of users. FDIC facilities will be equipped to enable authorized users to connect to secure FDIC networks wirelessly. The FDIC will improve authorized user capability to connect securely from bank sites in support of financial institution supervision and receivership management.

OBJECTIVE 3.2

Provide FDIC authorized users with the capability to work in a mobile environment

The FDIC will provide authorized users with multiple ways to connect to its network securely, including wireless options that use mobile devices and applications. The FDIC will analyze alternatives for providing acceptable mobile endpoint devices, recognizing that authorized external users will have access to FDIC systems, but will not be provisioned with FDIC devices. Mobile Device Management (MDM) will provide assurance that mobile devices are monitored, managed, and meet all technical and security requirements. The FDIC will ensure that IT policies remain current with acceptable mobile device use.

OBJECTIVE 3.3

Optimize necessary applications to work on mobile devices

The FDIC will modernize current applications deemed necessary for conducting business in a mobile environment. Application owners in consultation with developers will assess the level of mobility required for any new application and will design and develop it accordingly. Application development standards will ensure applications can be supported and maintained. Ongoing application development will be informed by “mobile first” software standards that include device platform independence.

OUTCOME

FDIC authorized users can access information and perform work duties securely from any location at any time
