The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) movement has created a clear mandate for organizations to adopt a new way of thinking, and seek new ways to address network access and device security so they can stay ahead of the competitive curve. Westcon Group’s BYODShield joins the proven capabilities of BlueCat and Fiberlink into a single, integrated package that provides both network AND device security. It enables resellers to offer their customers scalable, policy-driven access to their network and applications while protecting their employees’ mobile devices from data loss, malware and other threats.
 

Hear from William Hurley, EVP and CTO from Westcon Group, and Lynn S. Murphy, SVP, Westcon North America, as they review the complexities of BYOD in today’s market and how Westcon Group has met those challenges by teaming with industry leaders Fiberlink and BlueCat to develop BYODShield. Listen as Jim Sheward, CEO and Cofounder of Fiberlink, explains Fiberlink’s on-premise virtual appliance delivery, complete enterprise mobility, and cloud-based delivery included in the integrated solution. Brad Micklea, BlueCat’s Vice President of Product Management, describes how BlueCat’s enhanced network security protects organizations and enables the front-end portal to onboard BYODShield users.
