Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a trend whereby employee-owned devices are being used within a business. BYOD policies enable employees to use the same devices for personal and office use, allowing them to work remotely if need be. This is a trend that is growing rapidly due to the myriad of benefits it provides both the business and the employee. As of 2015, 82% of organizations are accepting the use of personal devices for work-related purposes. and the BYOD market is estimated to increase by 15% every year until 2022, from a starting value of $30 billion in 2014. The corporate world has three key approaches for allowing their employees to operate mobile devices internally, and externally, for work-related purposes.
Hardware Assets Control solution for BYOD security risks.
Sepio’s Hardware Access Control HAC-1, provides 100% hardware device visibility.
HAC-1 enables Hardware Access Control by setting rules based on the devices characteristics.
Further, HAC-1 instantly detects any devices which breach the set rules and automatically block them to prevent malicious attacks.
The idea is to Verify and then Trust that those assets are what they say they are.
First of all, Sepio’s HAC-1 brings the ultimate solution to zero trust adoption by providing 100% hardware device visibility for BYOD security risks.
With greater visibility, the zero-trust architecture can grant access decisions with complete information.
Thus, enhancing the enterprise’s protection within, and outside of, its traditional perimeters.
The Hardware Access Control capabilities of HAC-1, block Rogue Devices as soon as they are detected
Additionally, HAC-1 stop an attack at the first instance, not even allowing such devices to make network access requests.
HAC-1 is here to protect Government Agencies and the nation’s critical infrastructure
Lastly, embracing Zero Trust Hardware Access in critical infrastructure is key.
