Join Kraft Kennedy CTO, Chris Owens for a spotlight session on Wednesday, October 12th at the LegalSEC Summit 2022. Attendees will gain insights into managing access to critical data and applications not only on mobile devices but also PCs through tools such as Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM) or by way of thin client architecture (Citrix, AVD). Learn what is mandatory and realistic to expect now, versus what is possible to attain in the very near term.
BYOD vs. Company Devices Including Mobile Devices and PCs discussion points:
1. Is the gap between security features and functions widening between iOS and Android? Is that driving firms to force users to iOS and is that an alarmist approach? What about personal Windows-based devices?
2. What seems to be the direction for thin client architecture and allowing personal devices to access systems remotely through a Citrix session or some other remote session solution? Are any firms moving away from these technologies? Should Microsoft Endpoint Manager (MEM)Intune management be required for this type of access? What is realistic?
3. Is there really a difference from a security posture between a firm-provided device and a personal device these days? Can mobile devices be part of your enhanced security framework, especially along the identity plane? Could other devices be involved? How is multi-factor authentication evolving with conditional access? Is passwordless a realistic goal? What are the steps to get there?
