first important thing that companies need
to consider before allowing BYOD to the
employees.
People are accessing data from across
the globe, and hence data needs to be
classified properly from top to bottom. Data
access needs to provide on a need to know
basis. Data needs to be protected so that the
right people have access to the right data on
their right devices.
People are the greatest assets of the
company and they are the weakest link of
the company too when it comes to security.
The cultural change keeps happening and
there is no golden standard which can be
followed forever. As the world is evolving
on technology, something that works today
may not be secure tomorrow. Whether it
is an open source or standard software,
patching needs to be done on continuous
basis.
Companies need to evolve with
multifactor authentication to be more
secure and employees needs to be trained
accordingly.Ravi Seshadri, VP- IT, Bharti AXA General

Sometimes too much compliance is a
hurdle for the sales team. If the company
follows compliance rules and regulations,
then it will help in building trust among
the customers in the long run. There
should be restriction in password usages in
the organization; password should not be
allowed to be used in the less risky areas. In
specific cases, the concerned person should
be given authority to use passwords to
protect the important data of the company.Anand, Product Specialist, Dell India
