Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) not only ensures mobility and flexibility for employees but also enables organizations to implement work from anywhere overnight in case of an emergency. Provisioning a laptop or desktop to every user across the organization involves huge costs, which small companies cannot afford. Typically, two-third of the employees use their personal laptops and desktops to access office PCs or internal applications remotely. But organizations cannot control users’ home PCs or laptops due to privacy related issues. Thus, for organizations looking to leverage BYOD, data protection is a serious concern.
Accops BYOD solution enables enterprise mobility by giving a freedom of choice to employees, while keeping security in the hands of IT. It creates a secure container in the user device, enabling access to corporate applications as well as virtual apps and virtual desktops delivered through Accops Digital Workspace. The out-of-the-box security features block Internet and prevent data storage into the local hard drive or any other USB drive while using Accops solution. It can also enable multi-factor authentication as well as device controls to prevent unauthorized access and use. Using Accops solution, organizations can focus on business continuity without worrying about security compliances.
