Summary

Aura has introduced a new security offering, Aura Business for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), to address the growing security risks associated with Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies. Research indicates that 65% of MSPs are receiving client requests for BYOD security, with over half reporting related security incidents in the past two years. Traditional security tools are inadequate for managing employee-owned devices, leading to a significant security gap. Aura's identity-centric approach focuses on securing access based on user identity and device health, rather than solely on the device itself. The solution integrates with Microsoft Entra ID to enforce security policies, ensuring that only trusted users on compliant devices can access business systems. This proactive model aims to mitigate risks from identity-driven attacks such as phishing and credential theft. By protecting the individual behind the device, Aura's offering seeks to enhance security without infringing on employee privacy. The solution is designed to be fast to deploy and easy to manage, addressing the operational challenges faced by MSPs. Key Points: • Aura's new offering targets BYOD security for MSPs amid rising security incidents. • 65% of MSPs report client requests for BYOD security solutions. • Aura's identity-centric approach focuses on user identity and device health.
