Make your BYOD policy more secure
A bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy enables productivity but comes with security risks. Akku makes it possible to allow flexible, efficient operations even while ensuring that security is not compromised.
Your company-owned devices are under your control, meaning you can ensure their security through the installation of anti-virus and other security tools, and enforce strict security policies. But when your users use their own laptops, you simply don’t have the same level of control.
As a result, BYOD poses challenges in terms of unauthorized access, data security, and compliance failures. A personal laptop may not have the necessary security updates in place, a smartphone can be lost or stolen, and an unattended device can be used to download or transmit sensitive data. With no standardized protocol in place, personal devices are a major point of vulnerability for your security posture.
Akku makes it possible to apply Endpoint Privilege Management (EPM) across your users’ devices without compromising on user privacy or device control. This helps maintain the flexibility of a BYOD policy while addressing its security weaknesses.
Agent-driven security policies
Apply access control policies to company resources when users are logged in through the Akku agent installed on their devices, while permitting unfettered use of the devices while not logged in.
Secure against high-risk apps & websites
Approach audits more confidently with a comprehensive single source of truth that provides verifiable evidence of user access activity.
Data protection controls
Apply controls to prevent data breaches by disabling actions such as upload of files and use of USB storage devices.
