BYOD Solution

BYOD Solution

Is your BYOD policy backed up by a strong network?

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) culture is prevalent at your workplace as employees, vendors, contractors, and guests carry personal smartphones, tablets, and laptops in hand. Your IT department is under a great deal of pressure to provide access to a wide variety of devices and operating systems. IT needs to determine not only which user gets access to corporate information, but also provide access for employees on campus or overseas. Most importantly, IT needs to constantly maintain security on all these devices.

A secure BYOD strategy considers user access rights from the first connection, as well as role-based access control (includes user identification to assign appropriate network access on each device). Access control must also account for a single user who may carry several devices, often with a different level of corporate access on each device.

When implemented correctly, your BYOD policy improves productivity and reduces capital expenditures and inventory.

Features and benefits:

Creating a secure network for all devices
