Guest Presenter – Trend Micro
Channel Partner Manager Tom Mason presents
BYOD in the Real World
BYOD is considered a double edged sword in IT. Many businesses may have changed to meet the demands of staff and customers – but has their security environment caught up with it?
So how can you help your customers?
As users now connect to more than one device (notebook, tablet, smartphone), IT Managers need to be able to answer the following questions?
1. Are you allowing users to bring their own device?
2. Can they connect them to the network?
3. Will they have access to business applications and data on these devices?
4. How are you going to manage the devices and any business IP?
Channel Partner Manager Tom Mason will discuss BYOD in the Real World. This 30 minute presentation will identify the challenges that exist in today’s BYOD environment and demonstrate how you can safeguard your data.
