NEW! Matrix42 MDM now supports iOS 6 ... more
Your employees are now bringing their own devices - referred to as BYOD – “Bring Your Own Device” and even technology to work. Users now expect their devices to be supported by your IT department, and this of course, opens up a lot of security and management challenges:
- Case 1. One of your mobile workers purchased an iPhone over the weekend and asked your IT department to help him configure it to receive corporate email and get access to your company’s intranet. Do you have a corporate IT policy to support this?
- Case 2. A business manager within your company decided to purchase iPads for the entire team to make everyone more productive without telling your IT department. Team members are now downloading dozens of applications and using these apps to get their job done at work and remotely. Do you have a corporate IT license compliance policy to support this?
- Case 3: Now you just received an urgent email from your company’s Chief Financial Officer who lost his brand new Android while traveling on a business trip. His smartphone contained company financial information and a list of your company’s top 500 customers with detailed contact information. Do you have a corporate IT security policy to support this?
- Case 4: One of your users accidently left his smartphone in a taxi. The smartphone contained a lot of sensitive company information. The smartphone did not have a passcode set-up. Do you have a security policy and the ability to track down the device and wipe out the device?
