BYOC or B-Y Oh Noooo
September 9, 2013
BYOC- Bring your own computer is the new normal for enterprises. Many employees are working from home or on the road using PC’s to the newest smartphones. Take a look at the challenges businesses are facing and how you can fix the problem with Mcafee.
This move to employee-owned mobile devices brings new challenges to companies, including:
- Implementing and enforcing policies on mobile devices with different operating systems, browsers, and sets of applications
- Stopping malware on employee-owned devices from infecting the corporate network
- Implementing web filtering policies that are flexible enough to allow access to mobile apps, but strict enough to maintain compliance with industry rules
- Protecting sensitive corporate data and intellectual property stored on smartphones and laptops
- Managing and securing data transmitted on mobile platform
To combat these risks and enable a safe, productive mobile workforce, companies need to:
- Ensure all endpoints meet IT compliance standards prior to allowing network access
- Limit device access to authorized user
- Control which users are permitted to access specific applications
- Manage web application use
- Shut down access and wipe the data if a device is lost or stolen or an employee resigns
To ensure these challenges don’t happen to your business call a Mcafee Rep @ 888.413.9186
