Access from any device. On your terms.
Staff, contractors and offshore teams need company data now, often from a device you don't own and can't enrol. We put the controls in the path of the data, so the device's posture stops mattering and the experience stays fast.
Building and shipping a device for every need no longer adds up.
The maths behind corporate hardware has changed, and the workforce is more fluid than ever. Securing access, not the device, is how you keep up without blowing the budget.
Hardware costs are rising
Laptops cost more and depreciate fast. Buying one for every contractor and short engagement ties up capital you won't recover.
Freight is slow & costly
Shipping a built machine to a remote or offshore worker takes days or weeks, and often there and back again at the end.
SOE builds for the short term
Standing up a full Standard Operating Environment for a three-month contractor is effort and cost out of proportion to the need.
A more fluid workforce
Contractors, seasonal staff, offshore teams and project hires all need access fast, on devices that aren't yours.
Secure the data and the access. Stop caring about the device.
Once controls sit around the data and the session, the security posture of the endpoint no longer matters. A personal laptop, a home PC, a contractor's phone, all can reach what they need without ever holding company data they could lose.
Prove who they are
MFA and conditional access verify the person and the context on every request.
Contain the data
DLP, app protection and isolation keep company data from ever landing on the device.
Right-size the route
From managed apps to a browser to a full Cloud PC, the access model fits the risk.
Match the access to the person and the risk.
There's no single answer for BYOD. We layer four models and apply the right one per scenario. Select each to see how it works and when we use it.
App protection policies (MAM)
Mobile Application Management protects company data inside the managed apps, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, without enrolling the device. Data is encrypted, copy-paste to personal apps is blocked, a PIN is required, and company data can be wiped on demand. The personal device stays personal.
Netskope Enterprise Browser
For contractors and fully unmanaged devices, the Enterprise Browser delivers isolated, policy-controlled access to company apps with nothing installed. DLP is built in, data is viewed not downloaded, and copy, paste, print and screenshot are governed. You stop caring about the device's posture entirely.
Windows 365 & Azure Virtual Desktop
When someone needs a full desktop but you don't want to build and ship one, give them a cloud desktop. Windows 365 is a persistent, Intune-managed Cloud PC per user; AVD is multi-session for scale and cost. The environment lives in Azure, the personal device is just a screen, and nothing is stored locally.
Conditional access
Conditional access is the gate that decides, in real time, what each request is allowed to do. It weighs identity, device state, location, app and risk, then grants, steps up with MFA, routes through the Enterprise Browser, or blocks. It's what makes the other three models safe to offer.
A model for every kind of worker.
Give every worker secure access, without the hardware.
Personal devices, secured without managing them.
MAM, Conditional Access, Enterprise Browser, in plain terms.
What is BYOD?
Bring Your Own Device. Letting employees, contractors and partners access work apps and data from personal phones, tablets or laptops, without your IT team owning the device.
Can we let people use personal phones without managing them?
Yes. Mobile Application Management (MAM) protects work data inside work apps (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive) without touching the personal side. The user keeps their photos and apps; your data stays in a protected container.
What is the difference between MDM and MAM?
MDM (Mobile Device Management) controls the whole device, suitable for corporate-owned phones. MAM only manages work apps and data on a personal device, with no IT visibility into personal use. BYOD almost always uses MAM.
How does Netskope Enterprise Browser fit?
For high-risk personal devices (contractors, short-term staff), Netskope Enterprise Browser gives a managed browser session with full DLP and policy controls, without installing anything device-side. Work happens inside the browser, contained.
What about contractors and short-term staff?
MAM for phones, Enterprise Browser or AVD for laptops, all gated by Conditional Access. No corporate device needed, no shipping logistics, off-boarded the moment access is revoked.
What can IT actually see on a personal device under MAM?
Only the work apps and the data inside them. No personal photos, messages, browsing, or apps. The user keeps their privacy; the business keeps its data.
