PLEASANTON, Calif. June 21, 2012 ManageEngine, the real-time IT management company, today announced its upcoming webinar, Securing and Monitoring BYOD Networks Using NetFlow, which highlights ManageEngine NetFlow Analyzer, known for its flow-based traffic analytics tool.
The BYOD movement, due to its supposedly high cost savings to the organization and flexibility to the employee, has become the trending technology of the year. It has also brought to the enterprise a tremendous increase in the number of personal devices with no established device management policies and an associated rise of unverified applications and data. The onus is now on the network administrator to ensure that the enterprise network performance does not take a hit.
Don Thomas Jacob, head of the technical marketing team for NetFlow Analyzer at ManageEngine, will discuss the possible network issues that arise from adopting a pro-BYOD policy and why monitoring is a necessity in such networks. The webinar will further address how NetFlow technology can be used to monitor the network as well as to mitigate security threats that may arise from BYOD.

The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) Mobile Working Group today released Mobile Device Management: Key Components, V1.0, a research report identifying 17 key elements that are critical for organizations to consider for the full lifecycle security management of mobile devices. The whitepaper is one of six parts to the upcoming, “Security Guidance for Critical Areas of Mobile Computing” report, one of a number of important research items to be presented and discussed at the upcoming annual CSA Congress being held November 7-8 in Orlando.
With the growth in the number of applications, content and data being accessed through a variety of devices, mobile device management (MDM) has to extend beyond device management alone. As IT departments are now fully responsible for company-owned devices, organization must look to adopt policies and practices to prevent any compromise in security. Most important, the report cites, is for organizations to include a system-centric functionality to secure and manage data and applications, as well as information-centric functionality such as the delivery of the enterprise application store or content library.
Mobile devices are becoming an integral part of corporate networks and as employees are increasingly using their personal device to access cloud-based applications and services, identity management is paramount in ensuring that this access remains secure, said Patrick Harding, CTO, Ping Identity. By having the right identity management processes, enterprises can provide employees with secure and convenient access to cloud apps via single sign-on from mobile devices – whether BYOD or not. The CSA has taken important steps in identifying the key elements organizations need to consider before adopting a BYOD policy and were happy to see identity management recognized as a key piece.
While every company will have a different tolerance for risk and will adopt mobile technology in different ways, there are several fundamental components of MDM that have to be considered and incorporated into policy and practice. With each component falling into one of three major categories: software and hardware, inventory and security, the report provides implementation best practices as well as potentials risks along with a Must Have or Optional rating to help organizations better prioritize their security efforts.
Key components to MDM identified include:

With the large volume of tablet sales expected this holiday season, companies need to be prepared for an influx of devices being connected to data and services on their corporate networks. A clearly written and concise BYOD (bring-your-own-device) policy is the first step in allowing the use of personal devices than can improve productivity while also articulating the expectations regarding the use of personal devices in relation to company assets.
Matrix42, a global leader of physical, mobile and virtual Workplace Management solutions, has provided five key elements of an effective BYOD policy that clearly outlines acceptable use of corporate IT resources on mobile devices and what security controls are expected to be followed. It can create a reasonable balance where employees can connect their devices but within corporate guidelines:

Opus Research, the leading IT analyst firm focusing on Conversational Commerce, has just issued a brief report entitled 5 Rules for Survival in the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Era. It is a quick reference guide identifying five major considerations that business enterprises must take into account to maintain network quality, integrity and security while accommodating the onslaught of personal mobile devices. The report is made available on a complimentary basis by Empirix.
BYOD is here to stay for one simple reason, report author Dan Miller, Sr. Analyst at Opus Research, explains. Employees dont think that going to work should be a downgrade from the tools and devices they use at home to get things done.
Recent studies by IT vendors like Cisco show that over 85% of global corporations with more than 1000 employees already offer varying level of support for employees who use their own smartphones, tablets or laptops into the workplace. Their challenge is to provide secure, reliable and capacious access to the companys wireless network. It is a daunting task made necessary by the advent of an even broader variety of intelligent wireless devices, including Ultrabooks, Chromebooks, e-readers and mini tablets.
Employees at all levels expect high-quality communications while working, no matter what the device, connection or application, said Tim Moynihan, Vice President of Marketing at Empirix. Technicians in the IT and Networking departments now must manage tremendous traffic loads with unpredictable usage spikes, all while trying to ensure that important real-time communications such as phone calls, customer chat sessions or video conferences, are kept free from static, echo or delays.
To help IT professionals cope, Opus Research offers Five to Survive and Thrive, meaning 5 rules to help IT organizations prepare for the flood of new devices, applications and traffic levels that come in the wake of the holiday season. It starts with acceptance of the consumerization of IT and preparation of data processing and management resources to detect impending faults and predict usage trends in order to keep the networks working flawlessly.
Employees expect the network to flat out work, Miller notes. Network assurance takes on new meaning when thousands of employees are using dozens of different devices and hundreds of applications to get their work done.
The brief report is made available free of charge by Empirix through its Web site or through Opus Researchs Web site.
