The Threat of Lifestyle Computing in the Enterprise: Creating Clear Delineation Between Personal Devices & Corporate IT Assets

Overview To guard against external threats, firms have invested huge sums in security technologies such as firewalls, anti-virus, content filtering solutions and intrusion detection. In contrast, internal security measures at the desktop rely largely on Acceptable Use Policies, designed to shape employee behaviour in such a way as to minimise the likelihood of security breaches on the network. The proliferation of 'lifestyle IT' devices, together with the ease with which content can be transferred to and from PCs within the 'safety' of the corporate network, presents arguably the greatest prevailing risk to the corporate network today. Companies need to have a clear understanding of this emerging threat and have a robust policy on the subject and ability to enforce it.
