What is device security?
Device security is the safeguarding of internet-connected devices, such as mobile phones, laptops, PCs, tablets, IoT devices, from cyberthreats and unauthorized access. Device security typically requires strong authentication, mobile device management tools, and restricted network access.
Why is device security important?
Device security is important for safeguarding sensitive data and helping to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, and other threats. Securing devices connected to corporate networks can help mitigate risks posed by remote work, bring your own device (BYOD) policies, and IoT ecosystems.
How do I make sure my device is secured?
To secure your devices, a multilayered approach is required. Start by training users in security best practices. Implement a zero trust network access (ZTNA) policy to mitigate the risk of unauthorized access. Deploy device security tools to fortify defenses against threats and safeguard the network.
