The “bring your own device” style is having many effects on enterprise operations. From enhancing employee productivity to reducing IT cost, once a business adopts a BYOD solution, it can find its operations completely transformed. Sheila Johnson said “Were seeing a change in the make up of PCs versus Macs that are not employee owned, but company owned. We are seeing a shift toward Macs. Sheila Johnson mentioned that some 40% of their employees, including a large portion of their contractors who work there at the headquarters are on Macs, and they’ve seen 11% quarter over the growth of that platform. She also stated how business needs to be ready to adopt whatever devices employees want to use, from IPhone to Chrome books. Second, the choice of device needs to be compatible with whatever the business is using as its desktop computer. By investing in remote access and HTML client solutions, businesses can avoid compatibility issues altogether and focus on providing employees with the rich mobile
On the other hand, a computer network is a telecommunication network of computers that enables the networked computers to exchange data between each other. However, the Acceptable Use Policy of the computer systems and network still apply here. All the computer users are assigned a specific user ID as well as a specific password that enables them to access only the information that is allowed within their authority.
As we progress deeper into the digital era, we rely more and more on our electronic devices. Over the last decade, almost everyone who lives in a developed nation owns a cellphone and they are becoming an integral part of our life.
Hewlett-Packard has traditionally focused on manufacturing personal computers but recently jumped into the tablet market by producing a WebOS-enabled TouchPad with several features such as 9.7 inch in size, Wi-Fi connectivity, LED backlit display, and an option of 16GB or 32GB of storage space. The introduction of this device into the consumer-oriented tablet market provided an alternative to the Apple IPad. The main marketing aspect of the WebOS device is the ability to multi-task i.e. open several applications at the same time and then flick back and forth. For business users, this device provides support for data security features, over-the-air management, and Exchange ActiveSync and VPNs. Generally, HP’s first tablet into this consumer-oriented market is not a bad device though cracks begin to emerge when the equipment is compared with others in the market. One of the major strategies the company adopted to sell the product was giving its tablet away almost free through an undercut price in attempts to shake up the market. However, these strategies were not effective since HP was forced to discontinue the product because of sluggish sales.
The time we live in can be fairly called the epoch of mobile devices. Every time you use public transport, have a lunch break, attend a meeting, or walk down the street, you will see people staring at their phones, tablets, smart watches, and other gadgets, completely absorbed in their blueish glow. In developed countries, it has become almost impossible to imagine a person having no smartphone or its substitutes, since the pace of modern life has become intertwined with the usage of mobile gadgets; the variety of models available on the market is overwhelming, and a person facing the need to choose a gadget may experience difficulties. Which model is better? What about the camera? How long will the battery last? Can I run games on it? What
Authorization controls to restrict access to authorized users. These controls are implemented with an access control matrix and compatibility tests.
Permission-based Access Control: The problem with this approach is that it relies upon user to make security decisions, and decide whether an app’s requested combination of permissions is safe or not.

Mobile devices are being exposed to a record number of security threats with potentially alarming statistics indicating a 400 percent increase in Android malware for example, while Wi-Fi connections are also being increasingly targeted. While the conventional desktop PC will still continue to serve important functions at both consumer and professional levels, there is an expectation that mobile devices will become the predominant form for accessing both personal and professional content it is understandable that cyber criminals have begun focusing on mobile devices which have at the same time grown their user base while substantially consolidating the operating system variants which makes the surface area for a potential attack substantially larger (...
Personal devices refers to devices that are owned by an individual and not provided by the organization. The devices are also referred to as mobile as they can easily be moved or transported from one place to another. These devices are also capable of accessing wireless networks such as broadband networks, Bluetooth and Wifi networks (Twinomurinzi et al., 2014). Every organization that has adopted BYOD must also implemented BYOD security policy. BYOD security policy clearly states all the objectives and constraints related to the usage of organizational assess through the use of mobile devices.
This will help you maintain network security so that unauthorized personnel will not be able to gain access to any important files or data. Scope: This policy will cover everyone
There are several mobile operating systems like: ios, android, blackberry, symbian os, bada os, windows os, etc...In this audit we are presenting windows operating system and android operating system in brief. Features and applications of these phones have been looked closely in the audit.
The laptop and cell phone are two pieces of technology used worldwide that offer a variety of employments. Along with communication, these two similar devices share many of the same qualities such as gaming, conducting research, and easy accessibility; nonetheless, they do not share all similar qualities.
