Everyone Talks About TikTok but Here’s Why BYOD Is the Real Threat

A number of jurisdictions globally have recently banned TikTok, a popular social media app known to share user data with China, from government-issued devices. In February, the European Commission suspended the issue of TikTok on its corporate devices. In the UK, TikTok has been banned on government devices as part of wider app review, and this has also impacted on BBC staff who have been told to delete the app. In Germany, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution sees considerable risks in the use of TikTok due to the volume of data collected. Therefore, TikTok is also under heavy scrutiny in Germany.

While the hype has been around this single app, the security consequences of mobile apps go far beyond just TikTok and the public sector. Mobile devices have become critical to how your employees access data and stay productive — especially with hybrid work. The recent news around TikTok is a good reminder and opportunity for you to evaluate the permissions of the apps your employees’ mobile devices have, what they do with data they can access, and how you can minimize the risk to your risk from mobile devices, including bring-your-own devices. 

Our security experts will discuss how to effectively stop phishing attacks at the mobile device level and restrict usage of apps like TikTok that pose a growing threat to your data and workforce.

We’ll discuss:

  • How has the meaning of Shadow IT evolved with the proliferation of web and mobile apps
  • Why having visibility into mobile apps and their behavior is critical
  • How to handle risks related to BYOD devices, including mobile endpoints
  • How to protect your data when your employees are looking for shortcuts to stay productive
