Re: Managing BYOD
I agree with the growth of BYOD, but it will be more graceful if companies can add a subsidy for purchase of device, not only on the area of employee and employer, we have big vendors taking deep interest in same with Cisco ready to acquire Collaborate.com it shows its urge to the BYOD trend.

Managing BYOD
BYOD will continue growing as mobile devices continue to play a greater role in our lives.  That's why organizations need to address such BYOD challenges as security and device management.

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. An employee that brings in their own device merely opens their HTML5-compatible browser and connects to the URL given them by the IT admin.

Please note that I work for Ericom

Do you have a policy on BYOD? Take our flash poll!
We want to know what you think is the best policy for managing a bring-your-own-device program. So far almost 40 percent of respondents choose "allow a restricted set of devices." Do you agree? Take the poll and tell us why in the comments.

Re: BYOD
There is so much choice about mobile devices today -- too much IMO -- that I would welcome the guidance from my IT department about the best smartphone to use. Especially if the guidance came with a generous subsidy.

BYOD
I think it makes sense for IT departments to offer a selection of preapproved devices to choose from, but as a consumer/employee, I'd love the opportunity to choose the device myself.

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
