We know it adds additional risks and attacks surfaces, but BYOD and IoT are changing the way employees access your company’s data. Next year, more than 50% of the devices connecting to enterprise networks will be owned by employees.
Changes are coming fast! Gartner predicts, for example, that in 2016 spending on new Internet of Things (IoT) hardware will exceed $2.5 million a minute. As mind boggling as that number is, it pales in comparison with the corresponding prediction that by 2021 one million IoT devices will be purchased and installed every single hour.
So why should you care about all these new devices showing up in your office? They carry all your company's critical data, and many of the security tools you have today cannot even see them. The security implications of this shift are huge, and already being felt:
● 86% of InfoSec professionals cite connected device threats as a major security issue
● 55% of InfoSec professionals have seen an attack via a wireless device
● 38% of InfoSec professionals have seen an attack via a mobile device
Learn from our experts what’s working and what’s not. We will also demonstrate a security platform that provides:
● Complete visibility into all wired and wireless devices in a distributed enterprise, including Bluetooth
● Device threat detection, fingerprinting, and analytics to identify and prioritize risky devices
● Alerting, reporting, and intelligence required to mitigate device threats
● The ability to run continuous and fully-distributed security assessments
