Incorporating Secure BYOD with MDM/NAC Solutions
Is Your School’s Wireless Network Ready for BYOD?
The growing use of smartphones and tablets in schools and businesses across the world has led to more school networks allowing BYOD. But there’s plenty to consider when implementing a BYOD program in a school, such as these main solutions:
Mobile Device Management:
- Centralized control over all apps based on user’s role
- Enforcement of security policies and protocols to keep devices safe
- Easy management of devices, updates and patches
Network Access Control:
- Centralized policy management
- Device health checks and remote registration of devices
- Secure guest registration and access
Embracing BYOD with MDM and NAC
BYOD, MDM, NAC – we sure do love acronyms, don’t we?
Although these words may not mean anything to you as of yet, they are essential pieces of your BYOD launch plan.
MDM (mobile device management) allows:
Remote Management
Remotely monitor and manage connected devices 24/7 for better convenience and efficiency
Maintain Regulatory Compliance
Monitor and track compliance initiatives through a centralized platform
Control Device Updates
Ensure all devices are up-to-date and patched for optimum performance

BYOD: Inspire Learning Both In and Out of the Classroom
BYOD (bring your own device) is a policy where you allow your students and staff to use their personal devices – like smartphones, tablets, or laptops – on your school wireless network. The incorporation of BYOD in schools and businesses alike is spreading faster than people can keep up.
At Akins IT, we helps schools of all sizes embrace the power of BYOD securely and effectively with solutions like MDM (mobile device management) and NAC (network access control). That way, you can inspire innovation in learning with fewer potential security risks.
