As Smart phones and personal mobile devices grow in popularity, Smart
phones and tablets are being increasingly used to access corporate
data. The concept of bringing your own device BYOD is a growing trend
for business IT that can lead to major cost-savings for enterprises.And
the time has never been better to offer a secure BYOD program that
maximizes the productivity of your mobile employees. More employees look
to access their corporate networks with their personal mobile devices,
vendors are looking to help companies allow such access in secure,
efficient ways.
There are a variety of benefits to allowing users to supply their own PC and mobile devices, but there are also some concerns. With BYOD comes the security concern and it’s important to determine which corporate applications can be accessed from an employee-owned device.Without safeguards in place, employees could very well be putting important information at risk. When an employee opens a file on their personal device, that document is now in the hands of their personal security settings, or lack thereof. It is found that personal devices are usually unsecure and more viable to hacking and theft than company devices. There is also the additional risk of an in addition, an employee losing a device along with valuable corporate information thereby putting the company at risk.
Enterprises therefore need to carefully weigh the benefits, risks and security concerns before adopting a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to work policy. It is best to have a bring-your-own-device solution that enables seamless ‘mobilization’ of any enterprise application to any personal device. Redeveloping enterprise applications for every mobile platform and version can be time and cost prohibitive. Hence enterprises need an ideal complement to existing native mobile app solutions that can support any mix physical or virtual desktops and applications. With such a solution, the existing infrastructure will maximized, while the need for additional hardware and software is minimized. Businesses can expand investments in native mobile apps and Virtualization in an intelligent and cost-conscious manner.
Look for an SSL VPNs, Server Load Balancing and appliance-based solution that is an enterprise owned and operated; unlike managed services, it is under full IT control and does not open the corporate network to third-parties. Connectivity for personal devices needs to be encrypted over SSL and secure with a proxy must prevent personal devices from connecting directly to the corporate network. Personal devices must be kept “off-networkâ€, while the security and compliance of office resources need to be maintained with the potential for attack eliminated.
