Re: Ingrained Security
We are in the process of incorporating an MDM and EMM solution. I will have more metrics then but as an enforcement mechanism you cannot gain access to clinical apps without going through a VPN set up through an app client. The app client access is provided via Group Membership in AD. Essentially, if we haven't sanctioned you for access you can only use your cellular network or a guest wireless solution which doesn't have any internal ramifications.

Managing BYOD
BYOD will continue growing as mobile devices continue to play a greater role in our lives.  Does BYOD come with headaches?  Of course it does.  However, security issues and IT management headaches (how do I support all those devices?) can be addressed by using new HTML5 technologies that enable users to connect to applications and systems without requiring IT staff to install anything on user devices. For example, Ericom AccessNow is an HTML5 RDP client that enables remote users to securely connect from iPads, iPhones and Android devices to any RDP host, including Terminal Server and VDI virtual desktops, and run their applications and desktops in a browser. This enhances security by keeping applications and data separate from personal devices.

Since AccessNow doesn't require any software installation on the end user device – just an HTML5 browser, network connection, URL address and login details - IT staff end up with less support hassles. The volunteer or temporary employee that brings in their own device merely opens their HTML5-compatible browser and connects to the URL given them by the IT admin.

Visit http://www.ericom.com/BYOD_Workplace for more info.

Please note that I work for Ericom

Re: Ingrained Security
Ryan, how does your company monitor how many byo devices/apps employees are using on the network and whether appropriate safeguards are in place and being used. Functionality with security makes a lot of sense. But what is the enforcment mechanism?

Ingrained Security
The bottom of the infographic is what I deal with most at my enterprise. The common thought process is functionality vs security when it should be functionality with security. The best way to accomplish this is to have security safegards in place on the vendor side before deployment. This can be more easily accomplished if organizations pushed harder to only incorporate solutions that have a strong security backbone. Instead of incorporation then addition. The previous method allows for minimal learning curve.

Also, as stated below in the comments awareness is a huge factor. Having safegards in place is not enough and it is our job as security professionals to reiterate and educate the public as to why taking proper actions with their devices and following protocols is so important.

Re: mobile ... the next challenge
Mobille is definitely the next challenge when one-third of all employees don't even know what their company mobile BYOD policy is and that each of them are using devices at work with 21 apps a piece. These number are quite startling!

mobile ... the next challenge
You are right ... mobile devices are comparable to desktop PCs in term of computational capabilities, the biggest issue related these platforms is the lack of awareness of principal cyber threats.

Users are unaware of the risk to use mobile devices without any defensive solutions, the risks increase if we consider the promiscuous usage (work/free time) of devices and bad habits of mobile users.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
