Preparing Your School for BYOD with Sophos UTM Wireless Protection
- 1. Sophos UTM Prepare your schools network for BYOD with Sophos UTM Wireless Protection
- 2. Agenda Q&A What is BYOD? How Sophos BYOD UTM can help Agenda Benefts BYOD Concerns & Preparation Considerations 2
- 3. What is BYOD? • General term which may mean different things to different people • Big topic that covers more than just technology • Most people agree it means allowing personal devices to access business networks • Also used to describe programs where equipment is provided (1 – 1 initiatives) • BYOD concerns relate to both policy and infrastructure • This talk will focus mostly on infrastructure concerns 3
- 4. BYOD Benefits to Schools Why the trend? • U.S. Department of Education suggested BYOD in 2010 National Technology plan • http://www.ed.gov/technology/netp-2010/executive-summary • Technology may enhance: • Creativity and Innovation • Communication and Collaboration • Critical thinking, Problem solving, Decision making • Present concept of Digital Citizenship • Tech skills are essential for modern life and business • BYOD may save money • On equipment, app’s, and management 4
- 5. BYOD Preparations What should you be thinking of if you’re planning a BYOD initiative? • BYOD Policy • What are we trying to accomplish? • What’s acceptable use for equipment and network? • Infrastructure • What do we need to support the policy? • Do we have the proper equipment or do we need to purchase? • Impact on community • Are teachers prepared to use and maybe support devices? • Privacy concerns, can all students afford devices, do parents support, etc… 5
- 6. BYOD Infrastructure Considerations The Network • How many new users/devices are you adding onto your network? Twice as many? 3 times? • Will your current network handle that traffic? • What are the security risks? (How can we ensure that Guest and/or BYOD traffic is segregated? • Will current network and web security solutions be able to support BYOD policy? • How much extra work is this going to be for IT staff? 6
- 7. BYOD Infrastructure Considerations The Network • Network & Web Security equipment should provide (at least): • QOS functionality to shape bandwidth • Content filtering to enforce CIPA • Application Control (Next Generation Layer 7 Firewall) • Ability to scale as demands increase • Reporting 7
- 8. BYOD Infrastructure Considerations Your Wireless solution and its capabilities • Does it support multiple SSID’s (wireless zones)? • What security policies does it offer? • What levels of encryption does it offer? • How easy it is to add capacity? • What are the Guest capabilities? • How much work for staff to deploy and manage? 8
- 9. BYOD Infrastructure Considerations Your Wireless solution and its capabilities • Wireless Solution should provide (at a minimum): • Multiple Wireless Zones • At least WPA2 encryption • Ability to integrate with security solutions • Usage reporting • Guest Options 9
