New Enterprise End-User Computing 101: Reducing Data Leaks and IP Loss
The growing influx of consumer-owned devices into the enterprise has sparked well-justified fears regarding data leaks and intellectual property security within many organizations. Although BYOD and BYOD/PC aren’t the only practices that put corporate data at risk—use of unauthorized applications, misuse of corporate computers (including public internet usage), insecure file transfers, and weak passwords can all result in data leakage, even if the employee is using a corporate issued device—these practices have increased the likelihood of data loss and compromised IP security.
Even if you organization doesn’t encourage BYOD/PC, between road warriors, contract workers, and C-suite Apple fan boys, there are likely already unsanctioned devices with access to your sensitive data.
So how do you implement a secure BYOD/PC program?
Secure Data, Not Devices
When it comes to a strategy for data leaks and IP loss prevention, Moka5 believes firmly in securing the data, not the device. Between laptops, tablets, and smartphones, IT departments can’t even count how many different devices employees are tapping. Instead of trying to keep track of devices—many of which you likely don’t care about anyway—doesn’t focusing on the data, and a solution that will allow you to control who is able to access it, seem like a better solution?
Moka5 uses a secure container across PCs, tablets, and smarphones to fully isolate corporate data and applications from the personal, making it easier to implement a secure BYOD/PC program, manage contractors, minimize data leakage and IP loss - in short, successfully implement a new end-user computing infrastructure that works the way your people work. Whether using public Internet or private VPN, all browser sessions and data are fully encrypted, ensuring all transactions remain secure. Best of all Moka5 works both on and off line – no internet, no problem! Your people can still access the data they need to do their jobs successfully.
