As an increasing number of companies begin to
support the trend of remote working, BYOD is on
the rise. BYOD allows organizations to empower
their workers, by allowing them to use the
devices they feel most confident and familiar
with. While having the ability to work from
outside of a corporate office has been feasible
for a few decades, working remotely is only now
becoming mainstream.

4INTRODUCTION TO- BYOD
BYOD is the term used to refer to bring your own
device practices in the workforce.According to
research, around 61 of Gen , along with more
than 50 of workers over the age of 30, believe
that the tech they use at home is better than
the tools they can access at work.The rise of
BYOD began as a smaller part of the larger trend
for IT consumerization, where software and
hardware in the consumer space is permitted into
the business premises.As IT departments struggle
to remain on top of constant changes in the tech
environment, the BYOD definition has started to
evolve. Some organizations are even allowing for
things like bring your own technology, bring
your own PC and Bring your own software. The
BYOD meaning that your organization adopts will
depend on your individual requirements.Fundamenta
lly, however, the idea is to ensure that
employees can continue working on their own
devices in the workplace, eliminating the need to
switch between tools.

6CHALLENGES TO BYOD
Control security of your company data without
controlling a mobile device. There are a number
of applications you can use to secure data on
mobile devices. Finding a solution that secures
your data without controlling a device is at the
essence of a good BYOD implementation. Maintain
employee privacy. Security measures over
employee mobile devices must secure company data
while at the same time balancing employee
privacy. This means the software solution
separates employees phone data and company
data. Getting your employees to follow company
guidelines. Concise BYOD strategies involve the
development of a thorough BYOD policy so your
employees clearly understand their rights,
benefits and obligations when using their own
device.

requirements

employees
8CONCLUSION
BYOD solutions can potentially create
efficiencies in the way employees work. However,
they also introduce vulnerabilities in the
network through accessing sensitive data on
unsupported and/or unsecured personal
devices.BYOD has both advantages and
disadvantages, but its growing ubiquity means
that all IT departments must be aware and
proactive. Policies on BYOD management are
becoming more prevalent within organizations and
are important to addressing what can be a
daunting security challenge.The rapid
consumerisation of smartphones and tablets is
coming to your business. Employees want to use
their own smartphones and tablets to work
because they believe their mobile applications
are necessary to get jobs done. They are also
more comfortable using their own device, not to
mention the complications of having to carry
around two devices (one for work and one for
personal use).In short, BYOD is the practice of
employees bringing their own devices to work and
using these instead of the companys. In this
way, employees can enjoy the comfort and
familiarity they have with their own device.
