Mobile Access Safety (PDF)

Over recent years, the amount of mobile equipment that needs to
be connected to corporate networks remotely (smartphones, laptops,
etc.) has increased rapidly. Innovative development perspectives
and new tendencies such as BYOD (bring your own device) are
exposing business information systems more than ever to various
compromising threats. The safety control of remote access has
become a strategic issue for all companies. This book reviews all
the threats weighing on these remote access points, as well as the
existing standards and specific countermeasures to protect
companies, from both the technical and organizational points of
view. It also reminds us that the organization of safety is a key
element in the implementation of an efficient system of
countermeasures as well. The authors also discuss the novelty of
BYOD, its dangers and how to face them.
