# Manage BYOD without violating physician privacy

Stolen personal devices could act as gateways to organizational apps like Outlook and potentially expose PHI. With the Digital Health Most Wired National Trends 2024 suggesting increased adoption of BYOD across healthcare organizations, the lines separating security and privacy are thin without Endpoint Central.

## BYOD solutions

### Visibility

- See how many personal devices are being used for work related apps with an extensive device inventory.
- Manage licenses for business apps in BYOD and distribute them to work profiles.
- Audit and block-list unauthorized and malicious apps within the work profile.

### Data containerization and security

- Work profiles that ensure that work and personal data stay separate, ensuring privacy isn't tampered while ensuring security for PHI and business apps.
- Enforce strong passcode policies for work profiles to eliminate the chances of brute force attack in case of stolen devices.
- Prevent automatic sync of data from work-profile apps on your personal drives and iCloud.
- Distribute sensitive content securely with screen shot and clipboard restrictions via MDM.

### Secure access to business apps

- Restrict access to business apps like Outlook and Office 365 for only MDM-registered BYODs.
- Remove access to business apps from rooted and jailbroken devices.
- Ensure version control for OS to ensure that devices with outdated OSes do not access business apps.
- Enable certificate-based sign ins for apps like Epic Haiku and Canto, by distributing certificates via MDM.
