Bring your own Device

BYOD, Very Popular in these days. Many startups, even big IT/ITEs based companies
are utilizing this technique to boot their business operation. It's part of a growing trend
dubbed Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), which encompasses similar Bring Your Own
Technology (BYOT), Bring Your Own Phone (BYOP) and Bring Your Own PC (BYOPC)
initiatives.

There are some key advantages to operating a BYOD strategy, including increased
employee satisfaction (they can work more flexibly), cost savings (reduced hardware
spend, software licensing and device maintenance) plus productivity gains (employees
are happier, more comfortable and often work faster with their own technology).

The key security aspects to consider are summarised Below:


Understand the legal issues: The legal responsibility for protecting personal
information is with the data controller, not the device owner.
Create effective BYOD policy: Think carefully about what business
information and services you want staff to access using their own devices
Limit the information shared by devices: One of the advantages of BYOD
adoption is that personally owned devices are always connected. However
this does have associated risks.
Encourage staff agreement
Consider using technical controls
Plan for security incidents
