BYOD Policy Template

The use of mobile devices has become commonplace for both our personal and professional lives. Businesses understand that employees often utilize their personal mobile devices in the workplace; however, this raises several safety and privacy concerns that must be addressed.

This brief provides guidelines for appropriate use of personal mobile devices in the workplace to ensure the confidentiality of protected information and improve sta eciency.

Improved Accountability

The organization will use its discretion to determine which employees may use Personal Devices in the workplace. Use of Personal Devices may not be appropriate for all employees. If you are unsure if you are eligible, please contact your direct supervisor.

All data transmitted for work related purposes via Personal Devices is the business’ sole property. Accordingly, the organization has an absolute right of access to all of the data sent and may exercise its right whenever it is deemed appropriate by management.

If you work in highly regulated industries, like healthcare, vendors and sub-vendors must be compliant with the latest requirements, like the new HIPAA Omnibus rules.

Personal Devices and third-party applications should remain up-to-date, as older versions may not meet current security standards.

All costs associated with your Personal Device shall be borne by you; provided, however, that the company shall pay for your access to third-party applications used in the workplace.

Use of Personal Devices

Exercise discretion when using Personal Devices at work, as they may interfere with your productivity and be distracting to others. During regular hours, personal devices should only be used to access applicable work information.

When and where you may use Personal Devices within the  company’s property is subject to the general policies covering the usage of mobile devices. Use of mobile devices, may be prohibited to safeguard against client security concerns.

In order to ensure the confidentiality of protected client information, you must never utilize traditional text messaging or multimedia messaging services when sending work related data via your Personal Device.

Company policy prohibits screen capture or sharing secure information with users who are not bound by the organization’s privacy policy.

Implement two levels of security for all personal devices and enterprise applications used in the workplace. Each should have its own password or use touch ID to ensure that third-party access to your content is limited.

Thin client – NCR Signals Massive Makeover to Banking with Cloud-Based ATM Android client Software Platform

NCR has launched Kalpana software, an enterprise software platform that moves ATM software and operations to the cloud.

Source: www.ncr.com

Cardtronics – the world’s largest retail ATM owner/operator – has plans to pilot the Kalpana software and thin-client Android ATM at locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, beginning later this spring.

Traditionally, ATMs have run on thick-client, PC-based software and hardware technologies physically found in the ATM. When compared to other consumer channels, such as online and mobile, this legacy PC architecture is more inefficient, expensive and complex. These challenges have become heightened following recent industry issues related to security and compliance. Kalpana software is more secure than traditional ATM software because all software updates are originated and controlled at the server level.

NCR estimates that Kalpana software can reduce the cost of running an ATM network by up to 40 percent. For a bank or ATM operator running a network of 100 ATMs, Kalpana software could reduce the total cost of ownership by $540,000 to $800,000 a year by breaking free from the constraints, expenses and security procedures of existing ATM technology. Kalpana software greatly improves agility, helping bring new ATM services to market twice as fast as before, while also significantly decreasing the cost of:

10ZiG Are Amongst the Fastest Growing Thin & Zero Client Leaders in the UK

10ZiG Technology Announces 63.2% Year-Over-Year Growth in Sales for 2014

Leicester, UK – UK based dedicated Thin and Zero Client manufacturer 10ZiG Technology Ltd have seen a 63.2% increase in year-over-year sales in 2014. The 10ZiG European Head Office has just experienced its busiest and most successful year in its 12 year history after expanding its presence across EMEA. With an equally impressive first quarter, the UK office is already forecasting similar growth for 2015.

The increase has been seen across 10ZiG’s entire Thin and Zero Client range, including dual screen, quad screen and All-in-One hardware, as well as their 10ZiG NoTouch Desktop Repurposing Software, used to breathe new life into old PC’s, laptops, notebooks and Thin Clients.

“UK and European businesses are choosing 10ZiG Technology as their Thin and Zero Client vendor of choice because of our dedication to developing customer-driven solutions.  At 10ZiG we consistently strive to make our devices fit our customers’ environments and not the other way round,” said Kevin Greenway, 10ZiG’s EMEA Managing Director. “Our hardware, including our new industry leading Quad Core Thin and Zero Clients are optimised to provide the highest-levels of performance with VMware, Citrix & Microsoft, and supporting the latest and greatest advancements of the PCoIP and HDX Technologies.  Our products are backed up with the most personal Sales and Support service on the market, and our 100% cost free, unlimited user license 10ZiG Management Utility”.

Don’t take their word for it: Here are some of 10ZiG Technology Ltd.’s customers explaining the reasons behind choosing 10ZiG as their Thin and Zero Client vendor…

Stewart Hall, Head of Infrastructure at Brent Borough Council.

“We have recommended 10ZiG to other councils on a number of occasions. They ask me how to determine which vendor/product is the best, and I tell them to make sure that the vendor has a team like 10ZiG in the background. Right from the start 10ZiG showed evidence that they were willing to work outside the box for us and cared about our project. The Thin Clients have been spot-on as well, proving to be extremely reliable with low failure rates. It was a good business decision choosing 10ZiG and we are definitely happy customers”.

 

David Kelly, IT Director at QHotels.
“Another feather in 10ZiG’s cap is their level of personal service. They have continued to show that they are a company we are happy to do business with. It has also been refreshing that from the POC stage through to post-sales support, I have received a very personal level of contact throughout. Other companies chop and change Account Managers regularly so it has been great to keep that relationship going with a group of individuals at 10ZiG.”

 

Janet Lines, Network Manager at South Bromsgrove High School.
“10ZiG helped us break new boundaries into the world of desktop virtualisation, helping to seamlessly create a working environment for our students which totally exceeded our expectations. Not only by providing us with an excellent product but also by working closely with us in developing exciting new features for the future. I am a firm believer that people make a company, and working with both 10ZiG staff and products has been a very positive experience. Not only would I recommend 10ZiG, I already have done on a number of occasions when we have had visitors.”

[PDF] Cloud Confusion: Separating the True Cloud from Marketing Hype

In the world of information technology, “cloud” has become jargon that is reminiscent of the word “plastics” in the iconic 1967 film, The Graduate. The “cloud” will solve all our problems, faster, cheaper, and more reliably. In reality, cloud is a heterogeneous concept and although it has promise we need to be careful not to oversell its capabilities. There are many variations in architecture, capabilities, and security. Companies are increasingly marketing the cloud and its benefits, which is to be expected, but I’m concerned that my CIO peers are falling captive to the promise without scrutinizing each iteration of “cloud” they are being sold on…and there are many.
