BYOD Doesn’t Have to Be a Bad Word

Mobile devices are a growing target of attacks and, unfortunately, they’re appearing on networks everywhere. As employees continue to insist on using their own devices – anytime, anywhere – security today has to extend across the entire network to protect against this rising threat.

In addition to policies that control usage and access so only compliant devices get on the network, mobile device management (MDM) can be utilized to defend everything from tablets to phones. Cloud-based MDM not only manages what’s installed on these devices but also allows for remote:

• Monitoring
• Diagnostics
• Locking and erasing
• Deploying of network settings

With a centralized approach like cloud-based MDM, companies don’t have to rely on manual processes or hope end users take the right action. Instead, they can leverage the cloud to protect devices and mitigate risk – all while alleviating the burden on IT.
