How To Keep Secure When Adopting Augmented Reality
Security concerns prove to be at the top of the list of barriers to AR adoption, according to research from global business technology and cybersecurity association ISACA. infosecurity-magazine.com reported such findings in an article earlier this week, writing that only 21% of the 6600 business and technology professionals surveyed believe that the benefits of Augmented Reality outweigh the potential risks. Rob Clyde, board director of ISACA and executive advisor at BullGuard Software, says these numbers are expected to change in the very near future, “as businesses begin to view AR as a valuable technology that can deliver positive business outcomes, such as improving training, education, marketing and customer experience”.
Although the survey findings display concerns for the risks associated with AR technology, more of which can be found in the original article, ISACA provides recommendations to help organizations overcome potential security-related barriers of AR. Businesses can update their policies to accommodate AR, along with reviewing their governance framework. Incorporating the use of AR as part of the business into organizational policies and procedures is absolutely crucial to stay secure, including bring your own device. Security is required in every part of the process to ensure confidence in the data being used, the article states.
