If you do not own an iPad, most likely you will soon. The iPad is becoming one of the most widely used tech gadget for work and play. Many businesses are starting to use them for taking orders in a restaurant to recording the medical statistics of your doctor's visit.
The concern around the use of the iPad in the IT industry is the difficulty and expense in securing the device. Citrix has been the favored method of securing access of iPads, but is extremely expensive and difficult to implement. Apple has considered this problem and created FileMaker, a wholly owned subsidiary of Apple and a database company.
FileMaker provides an interface into SQL databases against which you can quickly and cheaply design PC interfaces. FileMaker Go is the product designed to provide a secure interface for the iPad to an SQL database.
The iPad does not archive or store any of the data viewed from the database, thus causing it to not need to meet security requirements.
The size, ease of use are a huge benefit of the iPad and now the security is no longer at question.
