1st Edition
by Dominique Assing (Author), Stéphane Calé (Author)
Over recent years, the amount of
mobile equipment that needs to be connected to corporate networks
remotely (smartphones, laptops, etc.) has increased rapidly. Innovative
development perspectives and new tendencies such as BYOD (bring your own
device) are exposing business information systems more than ever to
various compromising threats. The safety control of remote access has
become a strategic issue for all companies. This book reviews all the
threats weighing on these remote access points, as well as the existing
standards and specific countermeasures to protect companies, from both
the technical and organizational points of view. It also reminds us that
the organization of safety is a key element in the implementation of an
efficient system of countermeasures as well. The authors also discuss
the novelty of BYOD, its dangers and how to face them.
