Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is one of the fastest growing trends in information technology. As organizations explore accepting this paradigm shift, IT faces a future reality where devices are no longer under their complete control. Combined with a rapidly evolving security landscape focused on attacking the user, IT is kept awake at night with the fear that a breach will soon make headlines.
Despite these fears and objections, the growing thought among industry experts is that BYOD acceptance is inevitable for most organizations. A shift in strategic thinking towards accepting BYOD in the enterprise and mitigating its potential risks is needed. This talk focuses on a proposed architecture blueprint for BYOD enterprises. The goal of this design, when part of a proper BYOD program, will be to help reduce many of the risks associated with BYOD, while allowing users and organizations to enjoy the many benefits.
