Summary

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies allow employees to access company resources from their personal devices, which offers several benefits such as improved productivity, better user experience, and reduced costs. However, BYOD also introduces security risks, including lost or stolen devices, potential data breaches, and the lack of control over employee device usage. Traditional methods for managing BYOD environments often rely on outdated remote access security technologies that make flawed assumptions about the security of personal devices. In contrast, Zero Trust technology provides a modern approach to remote access that makes BYOD easier to deploy and manage while improving network security. By hiding each resource behind a software-defined perimeter and enforcing context-sensitive authentication rules, Zero Trust solutions protect company resources from potential breaches. Twingate's Zero Trust solution integrates with existing security stacks to protect on-premises and cloud-based resources while letting employees work productively.
