3. What is BYOD?
• General term which may mean different things to
different people
• Big topic that covers more than just technology
• Most people agree it means allowing personal devices to
access business networks
• Also used to describe programs where equipment is
provided (1 – 1 initiatives)
• BYOD concerns relate to both policy and infrastructure
• This talk will focus mostly on infrastructure concerns

4. BYOD Benefits to Schools
Why the trend?
• U.S. Department of Education suggested BYOD in 2010
National Technology plan
• http://www.ed.gov/technology/netp-2010/executive-summary
• Technology may enhance:
• Creativity and Innovation
• Communication and Collaboration
• Critical thinking, Problem solving, Decision making
• Present concept of Digital Citizenship
• Tech skills are essential for modern life and business
• BYOD may save money
• On equipment, app’s, and management

5. BYOD Preparations
What should you be thinking of if you’re planning a BYOD initiative?
• BYOD Policy
• What are we trying to accomplish?
• What’s acceptable use for equipment and network?
• Infrastructure
• What do we need to support the policy?
• Do we have the proper equipment or do we need to purchase?
• Impact on community
• Are teachers prepared to use and maybe support devices?
• Privacy concerns, can all students afford devices, do parents
support, etc…

6. BYOD Infrastructure Considerations
The Network
• How many new users/devices are you adding onto your
network? Twice as many? 3 times?
• Will your current network handle that traffic?
• What are the security risks? (How can we ensure that
Guest and/or BYOD traffic is segregated?
• Will current network and web security solutions be able
to support BYOD policy?
• How much extra work is this going to be for IT staff?
6

7. BYOD Infrastructure Considerations
The Network
• Network & Web Security equipment should provide (at
least):
• QOS functionality to shape bandwidth
• Content filtering to enforce CIPA
• Application Control (Next Generation Layer 7 Firewall)
• Ability to scale as demands increase
• Reporting
7

8. BYOD Infrastructure Considerations
Your Wireless solution and its capabilities
• Does it support multiple SSID’s (wireless zones)?
• What security policies does it offer?
• What levels of encryption does it offer?
• How easy it is to add capacity?
• What are the Guest capabilities?
• How much work for staff to deploy and manage?
8

9. BYOD Infrastructure Considerations
Your Wireless solution and its capabilities
• Wireless Solution should provide (at a minimum):
• Multiple Wireless Zones
• At least WPA2 encryption
• Ability to integrate with security solutions
• Usage reporting
• Guest Options
