Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) is permitting employees to bring personal devices (laptops, tablets, and smart phones) to their workplace, and use those devices to access company information and applications.
Create a Private App Store
Designing a private App Store provides the ability to manage custom and purchased apps. Businesses can manage apps by pushing mandatory apps, approving recommended apps and blocking rouge or unrelated apps.
Policy Compliance
Policies ensure security, productivity, protection of resources and reduce risks. Implementing a location-based service (LBS) such as Geo-Fencing and GPS will set limitations on access to data based on location.
Strong Security
There are many layers of security for a BYOD environment. Device enrollment can be a one-time passcode and/or Active Directory credentials. Applying user profiles will distribute policies, restrictions and Apps based on logical groups (department/location/device type). Other types of security are tracking device locations, Remote Lock, Complete Wipe and Corporate Wipe.
Track Usage
Usage thresholds can be monitored based on talk, text, data and roaming for each user. Setting up alerts and reports for misuse, excessive bandwidth, additional charges and security exposures will help track usage appropriately.
Banning Rouge Devices
Compromised devices such as “jail broken” iPhone or a rooted Android should be restricted from accessing enterprise data and resources. Compromised devices are susceptible to virus attacks.
