The number of Smart phones in use across the globe will reach 2 billion by the end of 2015, according to many estimates. In a recent report Gartner predicted, “90% of businesses will support corporate applications on mobile devices by2014, which just goes on to prove that BYOD is here to stay.

1. Protect Your Corporate Data with Successful BYOD Solutions
The number of Smart phones in use across the globe will reach 2 billion by the end of 2015, according
to many estimates. In a recent report Gartner predicted, “90% of businesses will support corporate
applications on mobile devices by2014, which just goes on to prove that BYOD is here to stay. However,
bring your own device (BYOD) policy brings with it a host of security issues. With the consumerization
of enterprise mobility, a growing percentage of workers are using their personal devices to access
corporate resources. When these devices are not secured by appropriate policies and solutions, this
introduces a wide range of security threats. Of course workers can access data from anywhere, but
there is always the threat of a virus or a data leakage. As always devices that are brought into the
enterprise from the outside pose numerous security threats.
An increasing number of corporations are implementing BYOD programs, and more and more employees
are asking their employers to consider BYOD models. Any organization interested in hiring the best
talent and staying on top of the latest and most efficient enterprise trends cannot ignore the BYOD
idea without careful consideration. Yes, many enterprises have opened up their networks to employee-
owned mobile devices, but at the same time there are many struggling to ensure data security without
unduly burdening users. Besides the fact that these devices can be easily lost or stolen, most mobile
devices are not equipped with PC-level security and management capabilities. They often aren’t
properly secured, or are used to access questionable Web resources.
Many employees don’t think about mobile device security or take the needed precautions to protect
themselves and their employees. Employees storing confidential information on mobile devices that
have not been secured expose their organization to threats that could lead to data breaches. These
threats include mobile malware that targets unsanctioned applications, games, unsecured Wi-Fi
networks, and Internet browsing on devices connecting to corporate networks.
An enterprise needs an effective load balancing , remote desktop appliance-based solution that is an
enterprise owned and operated; unlike managed services, it is under full IT control and does not open
the corporate network to third-parties. The solution must have connectivity from personal devices, but
also be encrypted over SSL, preventing personal devices from connecting directly to the corporate
network. The security and compliance of office resources must be maintained, thereby eliminating the
potential for attack. Choose a solution that can ensure that data never leaves the corporate network
never exists on personal devices and never mixes with personal data. Fully eliminate the potential for
data leakage with an effective BYOD solution.
