The workforce is bringing their own consumer-oriented devices to work. And employees are no longer carrying around phones, but small computers in which corporate information is often downloaded and stored. Your users expect to get email and Internet access on those devices at a minimum. 

·         Is your organization ready to support the large influx and wide variety of devices on your network? 

·         Have you factored in the hidden costs of BYOD from protecting your intellectual property, enforcing security policies and achieving regulatory compliance?

·         Will BYOD put a strain on your help desk, Wireless LAN, and corporate risk posture?

 

Please join us for an overview of the impact BYOD (bring-your-own-device) is having on the industry and hear the approaches you can take to help enhance staff productivity. We’ll discuss how to capitalize on BYOD by:

·         Allowing role-based and device-type access to network resources

·         Provisioning and managing guest access

·         Building a modular wireless LAN to future-proof your network

·         Providing visibility of all network connections

·         Protecting the network from unauthorized users and devices

·         Eliminating endpoint device vulnerabilities that can create backdoors for cyber-criminals and advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks

 

·         IDC found that in 2011, 40 percent of devices that information workers use to access business applications are personally owned, a 10-point jump from 2010.      ”BYOD Trend Pressures Corporate Networks,” eWeek, September 5, 2011.

 

·         By 2015, 80% of recently-installed corporate wireless networks will become obsolete because of poor infrastructure planning, according to a new study by Gartner, Inc.    “BYOD strains corporate wireless network bandwidth,” SearchConsumerization, February 24, 2012 

 

·         The same report suggests that as a response to widespread mobile device adoption, enterprises will have to deliver 300% more wireless access points to provide future Internet performance that is similar to the performance in the pre-BYOD era.  

 

Today’s growing demand for anytime, anywhere network access has expanded to include the use of personal mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, e-readers and more. This bring-your-own-device phenomenon is changing the way IT organizations and users address network access security.

 

For IT organizations, BYOD means supporting a variety of devices and their operating systems, and maintaining an expected level of service. To keep costs low, it must be easy to securely onboard new devices and quickly identify and resolve problems.

 

For users BYOD means using the laptop or smartphone that works best for their needs. They must also understand support considerations and what happens when a device is replaced, lost or stolen.

 

We’ll address important considerations, including:

·         BYOD Drivers

·         New Networking Requirements for BYOD

·         Wireless, Wired and Multivendor Considerations

 

Join Lilien and Aruba Networks as we review the benefits and considerations associated with BYOD, and how organizations can effectively deploy a unified access management solution for any wireless, wired or VPN network.
