Over recent years, the amount of mobile equipment that needs tobe connected to corporate networks remotely (smartphones, laptops,etc.) has increased rapidly. Innovative development perspectivesand new tendencies such as BYOD (bring your own device) areexposing business information systems more than ever to variouscompromising threats. The safety control of remote access hasbecome a strategic issue for all companies. This book reviews allthe threats weighing on these remote access points, as well as theexisting standards and specific countermeasures to protectcompanies, from both the technical and organizational points ofview. It also reminds us that the organization of safety is a keyelement in the implementation of an efficient system ofcountermeasures as well. The authors also discuss the novelty ofBYOD, its dangers and how to face them.
