Changing the Industry with BYOD

The consumerization of IT is at full speed ahead. Employees need to have the capacity to access to business applications from personal mobile devices. According to 2016 studies on IT Priorities, 52% of IT administrators worldwide plan to implement a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) activity in 2017, and 43% plan to deploy mobile applications.



Top Five Points of BYOD
  • Any Device, Anywhere - Remote desktop enables workers to access their office PCs, laptops, virtual desktops and applications from any device, anywhere
  • Freedom of Choice - Give workers freedom in selecting a mobile device for business with a free mobile app compatible with any iOS or Android version and platform.
  • Rapid Deployment - Quickly and cost-effectively enable a BYOD strategy with a scalable appliance-based solution that is easy to deploy, manage and use.
  • Eliminate Data Leakage - Enable access to business applications from personal devices without exposing the corporate network and without the risk of data leakage, using proxy architecture and RDP over SSL.
  • Mobilize Any Application - Deliver any application on desktops, laptops, virtual desktops and terminal servers to a secure mobile app on smart phones and tablets to address the lack of native mobile applications for business.


Originally designed for secure remote PC and laptop access, SSL VPNs have adapted and evolved over the years as BYOD morphed from a buzzword to reality for many businesses. The SSL VPN solutions of today, offer a wide range of support for smart mobile devices. And, due to their unique position at the network edge, with visibility into the endpoints and policy-based control over access to network resources, SSL VPNs can be your first line of defense for BYOD.

Additional Benefits of BYOD

  • Greater Productivity
  • Cost Efficiency and Lowered IT Spending
  • Less Security Risks
  • Consistent Updates
  • Work Anywhere


Array’s SSL VPN solution provides granular access control based on user and role, and host-checking can verify device and user identity as well as whether the endpoint meets security parameters like anti-virus, anti-spyware, personal firewalls, allowed OS version, etc. A mobile client supports secure access for native business apps and HTML5 apps via a secure browser, and all data associated with enterprise apps is stored in a secure container to prevent data leakage. The secure container can be remotely wiped in the event of loss or theft of a mobile device, and device-based identification can be used to prevent future SSL VPN connectivity by that device.
