Sensitive business data stored on personal devices can be lost or exposed if the device is compromised.
Public
Wi-Fi
Connecting to public Wi-Fi networks can expose devices to cyber threats.
Insecure Devices
Personal devices may lack proper security measures making them vulnerable to attacks.
OS Vulnerabilities
Out dated operating systems expose a device to vulnerabilities.
Prevent BYOD Compromise with Zero Trust
Mobile device protection is essential to Zero Trust. The five pillars of Zero Trust directly impact mobile devices and the devices must be secure to uphold a strong Zero Trust framework within your organization.
Identity: Continuously verify device with on-device threat defense, ensuring security standards are met.
Devices: Strengthen access controls and combine health checks with identity and access management.
Applications: Vet applications with real-time risk assessments for privacy and Zero Trust compliance.
Network: Network segmentation and micro-segmentation limits the potential impact of a breach and restricts lateral movement.
Data: Securing data regardless of its location, ensuring integrity, confidentiality and availability.
Implement Mobile BYOD
in a Zero Trust Environment
Zero Trust plays a key role in securing BYOD access by enforcing strict access controls and continuous verification of devices and users. A mobile security solution designed to respect user privacy while providing strong security protections is essential for a successful BYOD strategy.
