As part of this consumerisation, BYOD encourages company employees to work on the device they choose - accessing corporate email on their device to view text documents. The goal for SMBs? Increased productivity and reduced costs.

But BYOD also has a darker side. If not fully understood and regulated, it can threaten IT security and put a company's sensitive business systems at risk.

While BYOD sounds attractive, businesses need to consider the full implications of allowing corporate data to be accessed on personal devices that they could have little or no control over. What data can employees have access to? What security measures are in place if an employee's device is lost, stolen or compromised?

Secure, manage and protect your mobile devices and data

There’s no doubt about it, the mobile revolution is in full swing and it’s having a big impact on how we all do business.

It’s setting companies free; you can now work and communicate from anywhere, any time. This is great for productivity and business innovation. The downside is that there’s a lot of data on the loose.

With Mobile Device Management products we can help you secure your precious data wherever your users are and on whatever device they’re using. iPads, Blackberries, Androids and tablets of all shapes and sizes no longer pose a threat. Data loss is taken care of, compliance is conformed with and reputations stay in tact.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is changing the face of mobile security. You need to protect an array of devices on your corporate network—some owned by employees and some by your company. Sophos can help you simply secure and manage all your devices and protect the sensitive data on them. And what’s even better, it won’t get in the way of employee productivity. So you stay flexible and safe.
