Know your endpoints are compliant
Protect your sensitive company data with combining validation of user identity with real-time device security posture.
Compromised devices are one of the greatest threats to security
Your CEO’s phone hasn’t had the latest security updates, and John keeps turning off his antivirus. Yet, cloud apps can be accessed from these devices?
Traditional device security measures leave critical blindspots
While essential, MDM/UEM solutions and EDRs leave critical gaps, leading to vulnerabilities in the organizational security fabric.
BYOD and unmanaged devices
Devices that are not covered by organizational security policies still can have access to corporate resources. MDMs spark privacy concerns when applied to personal devices.
No real-time visibility
You can’t rely on a static evaluation of a device's security posture, which can change over time. Over time, devices may drift from their original secure state due to updates or changes, unintentionally introducing risks.
Ineffective access controls
There's no ability to control access based on real-time user and device risk, leaving an open attack vector to company resources.
Misconfigurations & Anomalies
Human error, specific device configurations or user behaviors introduces unique vulnerabilities.
Control access with real-time device security
Enforce device checks on both managed and BYOD devices
Gain visibility into and determine access based on real-time device security posture checks:
- Firewall status
- Antivirus status
- Biometric enablement status
- And 200+ more risk signals
Get granular with your access policies
Partition employee devices based on the levels of risk accepted by the different businesses of the organization.
Continuously validate device security settings
Continuously authenticate every 10 minutes and quarantine any device that no longer meets policy requirements to ensure that all endpoints are secure prior to granting access to company resources.
Only allow validated users and properly configured devices
Users can't clone, move, or modify the device-bound private key created and stored in the secure enclave of their devices. Beyond Identity gives you the peace of mind that only authorized users are able to access company resources.

What are privacy concerns with MDMs as BYOD security solutions?
MDMs, which are often used BYOD security solutions, can often infringe on privacy of employees. Contractors and extended workforce often refuse to install MDMs because of these privacy concerns.
With MDMs, organizations have control of the device with and can entirely wipe the device remotely. While companies are supposed to only wipe the business portion of these devices, it hasn’t always worked that way. Beyond Identity doesn't infringe on user privacy while providing organizations with strong security.

What are some BYOD security risks?
Controlling internal machines is hard enough for administrators, but securing personal devices is a different and more difficult challenge. Not only must administrators ensure that devices are secure, but they must also differentiate between devices that should be legitimately authorized on the network versus personal devices that could contain rootkits, ransomware, keyloggers, and any other malicious applications.
It's a balancing act for organizations wanting to allow for maximum productivity with flexibility to work on different devices, but also making sure their networks remain secure and free of bad actors.

What are BYOD best practices?
- Implementing phishing-resistant MFA
- Continuously verify the user's identity and their authorization to access sensitive resources
- Verify the identity and device attempting to authenticate by cryptographically binding the identity to a device
- Use a robust policy engine to ensure that everyone accessing resources meets the security requirements set by the organization
