Abstract:
As consumerization of Information Technology
occurs, Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) policy is becoming
increasingly popular in Corporate Mobility, where
organizations allow personal devices to access corporate
networks and their services. However, unlike the organizationcontrolled
devices, the personal devices pose a threat to the
organization’s information resources due to relaxing of access
policies to be adopted allowing personal devices to access the
networks. This becomes increasingly a challenge for medium
scale organizations due to their cost reduction initiatives and
inability to implement costly security solutions. Thus, we
introduce a network solution for successfully implementing
BYOD policy of an organization that allows it to gain complete
manageability of access to organization resources and
implement policy decisions at both network and individual
device level. An organization can create groups of BYOD policies
and apply those policies to different containers of mobile devices
for controlling and managing mobile devices both online as well
as offline. Unlike other solutions, our solution enables applying
rules based on individual user, groups, divisions, and device at
the network access level by identifying the ownership of
individual datagrams; yet can be implemented on an existing
operational network without disruptions. The solution
architecture includes Mobile Device Management Server
architecture and network Access Control Service Server
architecture. The complete design of the solution and the future
directions are presented.
