Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program

Now – Intune has been undergoing extensive configuration development and testing to ensure that the controls are effective and minimally invasive.  Pilot group testing has been completed and practices for ongoing controls development have been generated and approved by UTMB leadership.

Intune is a component of UTMB’s Microsoft licensed management and security tools.  Intune adds a small application to enrolled systems to allow it to respond to configuration checks (and eventually to request applications from the UTMB Company Portal).

These controls have been part of UTMB policy.  UTMB Security Practice Standards 1.4 Portable Computing (created Jan. 1, 2008) and 5.1 Platform & Application Hardening (created Sept. 3, 2002) require computers (UTMB and personally owned) to be securely configured to access UTMB networks and data.  The updated BYOD process just confirms secure configuration prior to allowing access to UTMB resources.
