Secure Cloud Access

Like it or not, the "bring your own device" (BYOD) trend is here to stay. This movement is transforming enterprise workspaces by giving employees the flexibility and convenience of working from anywhere, at any time on devices of choice, both within and outside of the usual traditional corporate structure.

Most users need BYOD as it makes their work life easier. As the BYOD bandwagon keeps rolling it brings along with it the growing concerns of IT professionals supporting employee-owned devices in the workplace. Protecting corporate data is at the top of their list of worries. While the key for organizations is to strike the balance between personal privacy and corporate security, it is also essential for IT to ensure that key executives in the business firmly and consistently have an efficient solution and a firm BYOD policy in place. Although permitting workers to use their own devices can help save a company money, enterprises also need to carefully weigh the benefits, risks and security concerns before adopting a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) to work policy.

There are many challenges that come along with the BYOD policy. It represents a loss of control, additional security risks, and, of course, the unknown. It is therefore necessary for enterprises to choose a bring your own device solution that enables seamless ‘mobilization’ of any enterprise application to any personal device. It must provide a rapid path to mobility that does not expose the corporate network and fully eliminates data leakage.

The solution that you invest in has to be not only appliance-based and enterprise owned and operated, but also has to be under full enterprise control. It must also ensure that it does not open the corporate network to third party networks. An efficient solution will ensure RDP remote desktop protocol connectivity to the end-user iPad and Android devices are encrypted using SSL. Giving workers the freedom of choice in selecting a mobile device for business, it must also make existing enterprise applications available on mobile devices to address a lack of native mobile applications for business. The solution must also be capable of delivering any application on desktop PCs, laptops, virtual desktops and terminal servers to a secure mobile app on smart phones and tablets.

Look for a solution that is cost-effective and can be set up in as little a few hours and is capable of achieving ROI in the time it takes to set up alternate solutions. While ensuring better employee productivity the solution you choose must also be cost-effective and fully secure.
