The rise in popularity of personal smart devices is making its mark on the workplace of today. Users want an environment that is flexible and easy to access from any location and is no longer confined by either physical or perceived boundaries. For most users, ‘Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) is simply about allowing them to use their own devices to connect to the corporate network, but the challenge for the organisation and the IT department is, as always, a little more complex.

 

BYOD significantly impacts the traditional security model of protecting the perimeter of the IT organization by blurring the definition of that perimeter, both in terms of physical location and in asset ownership. With personal devices now being used to access corporate email, calendars, applications and data; many organizations are struggling with how to fully define the impact to their security posture and establish acceptable procedures and support models that balance both their employees’ needs and their security concerns.

 

This highly practical and informative course will explain the main risks of BYOD when considering your mobile device program, and will propose potential steps to address these risks based on your organization’s current and most urgent challenges. Real life case studies will be discussed throughout the duration of this course.
