ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet

F5 Networks announced the findings of its 2013 RSA Security Trends Survey, which revealed that organizations are struggling to keep pace with the changing face of security. Respondents were RSA attendees with IT responsibilities over planning, management, oversight, or implementation of security.

BYOD is seen as critical in an organization’s ability to achieve the level of security it desires, yet a sizeable number of organizations are not taking the appropriate steps to address it.

Most (75%) see BYOD as being prevalent in their organization.Furthermore, two-thirds (66%) see BYOD as having a somewhat to extremely high impact on security.Despite this, one-third (35%) say they are not prepared to provide adequate security to protect against threats associated with BYOD.

BYOD savings may be lost by security and admin costs
Companies need to mobilize, that is without question -- but for too long BYOD has become nearly synonymous with this effort.

 

The Aberdeen Group found that BYOD, on average, costs companies 33 percent more than adopting a company-owned device policy. This is particularly surprising because, at first glance, BYOD seems to be the ultimate cost saver.

Everyone wants to bring personal devices into the workplace; these tips will help keep your network secure.

 

From iPhones and Android devices to tablets and notebooks, employees are increasingly bringing devices from home to the office for both work and personal reasons. Once they arrive, they expect to be able to join those devices to the network, ­either to access shared resources or simply to connect to the Internet. Whatever an agency’s stance on the “bring your own device”(BYOD) trend, a few simple tips can help protect the network.

As BYOD Trend Grows So Do Malware Attacks
The report found that the majority of employee’s devices did not have any form of security software loaded nor were company materials protected.

 

The BYOD concept has been a growing trend for some years now as employees become more accustomed to using their own mobile computing devices in their jobs, and accessing corporate assets.

The rapid adoption of high end smartphones and tablets including iPhones, iPads and Android devices along with the number of easily accessible apps is driving this concept forward. Cloud based services, accessible from almost anywhere, are also a key factor.

The ‘Mobile Security Strategies: Threats, Solutions & Market Forecasts 2012-2017’ report report from Juniper found that while this trend can bring productivity benefits to businesses, it also poses potential security risks.

 

In particular, the report found that the majority of employee’s phones and smart devices did not have any form of security software loaded nor were company materials protected. The new report provides detailed assessments of the mobile security threat and the growing market for security solutions.

 

The war on cybercrime therefore continues for many organizations and especially their IT departments and CISOs. The total number of Computer viruses, trojans and web attacks is growing at their fastest pace in four years.

Call it Invasion of the iPhone Snatchers: a new FinFisher-based spyware is built to infect iPhones and iPads (and Android, BlackBerry and Windows Phone gadgets too) in order to take over the device completely — all unbeknownst to the user.

 

The smartphones and tablets will innocently appear to be themselves, but in reality the mobile malware is working in the background to track the device’s location, monitor activity and intercept communications including emails, voice calls and text messages.

With a new year come new challenges. But while many see bringyourowndevice gaining momentum, more organizations may be ready to issue their own handhelds to employees.

Is IT becoming a consumer product?...

 

Most people are participating in rogue IT without even realizing it. By definition, rogue IT is the unmanaged hardware and software that employees bring into their offices, connect to employers’ networks and use for professional productivity on personal time. At first, it doesn’t sound so bad. By allowing employees to connect to the Wi-Fi with their own devices, companies avoid the cost of providing the hardware. But as we learned from the BYOD toolkit from CIO.gov, BYOD programs aren’t profitable if they are uncontrolled, because problems, like the ones we’ll discuss below, arise.

 

===> Rogue IT is innovative and efficient for workers, but it’s becoming a real problem for IT managers. Here are four trends that are shaking up IT: <===
