At Knowall we’re always looking for ways to tighten up and improve our security, both for our clients and for ourselves (we’ve just received full ISO 27001 certification).
These days, many of us move between the office, home, and the road. It’s become completely normal to connect from all sorts of places and for staff to bring their own devices into the office or onto the network. While that flexibility is great, it can also introduce risks if those devices aren’t managed or protected in the same way as company-issued ones.
When staff connect to the office network using company-issued devices, they automatically benefit from the security policies and protections we’ve built into all managed machines.
The challenge comes when users bring their own devices or work remotely without those same controls in place. If the right policies and systems aren’t applied, it can leave a security gap or potential vulnerability.
Every device used for business purposes should be treated with caution. If you’ve purchased or brought your own device into the office, please be aware that doing so can introduce security risks to the business network. Unmanaged or unprotected machines can bypass key safeguards and expose systems to threats. Always contact us so we can ensure your device is correctly configured, secured, and compliant with company policies.
By using a combination of VPN, Microsoft Intune, and the Knowall Security Suite, you can be confident that every device, whether in the office or remote, is managed, updated, and protected in line with your business policies.
We maintain strict security systems and policies to safeguard our office networks. However, it’s vital that businesses ensure staff do not connect unapproved or unsecured devices that could compromise the network. With the right care and the comprehensive protection offered by our security suite, we can ensure your business remains secure and resilient.
If you have any questions regarding this, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’ll be happy to advise and help ensure your setup is as secure as possible.
