Other organizations have their own distinct reasons to adopt an Any Device strategy. They may need to strengthen
their data security, increase their mobility, or create collaborative work environments to share access to real-time
data. Any Device programs also vary depending on industry and regulatory requirements. As the choice and
number of endpoint devices increase, and as new business models redefine connectivity in ways that are just
emerging, enterprises must consider who and what they will allow to access their applications and data, both within
their network and outside it. Then, they need to determine how to plan, track, account for, and enforce those
policies.
This paper discusses the following aspects of the Any Device vision:
●
Risks, rewards, and changes to business, IT, and security policies
●
Solutions that Cisco is currently implementing
●
Other considerations that Cisco has encountered along its Any Device journey
With a flexible, proactive approach, organizations can craft a model that best meets their needs and evolves with
an ever-expanding, connected environment.
