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
Protect user devices against malware by preventing installation of potentially risky applications that you define, and by preventing access to malicious or high-risk websites.
Data protection controls
Apply controls to prevent data breaches by disabling actions such as upload of files and use of USB storage devices.
Use Cases
- Prevent both accidental and malicious uploads of source codes and credentials by developers
- Permit access to development environment URLs from personal devices while restricting access to production application URLs
- Provide senior team members with the access they need on their own devices while traveling or working remotely
- Block uploads or transfers to USB storage devices to safeguard sensitive financial data
- Choose to prevent access to data such as account balances, statements, trading and transactions from personal devices entirely if required
- Allow access to non-critical applications like KYC, application forms, etc. from the devices of field personnel for efficient operations
- Apply standardized endpoint security controls to hospital-owned computers, and permit access to patient data and EHRs only from these devices
- Limit access to billing and financial records only from whitelisted company devices where required
- Permit access to telemedicine, remote consultation, and other applications from personal devices to enable more flexible operations
- Prevent students and faculty from leaking sensitive content like examinations or proprietary research by blocking uploads and data transfers to USB devices
- Make learning easy and accessible for students with access to lessons and assignments permitted through their own devices
