BYOD – Bring Your Own Device Like all developments in technology, BYOD has its fair share
of pitfalls. There is a possibility of staff exploiting the BYOD
environment by going for upgraded phones or signing up for maximum data plans. After all, these expenses have to be borne by the employers.
BYOD - Threats Adopting BYOD can lead to many problems further down the road if you’re not aware of it properly.Learn Few Risks:The threats are forcing security teams to introduce new policies to reduce the risk. Enforcing them without impacting productivity is a balancing act. Experts say the first step is to understand the perceived risks and weigh them against the company's security posture.
Continued...When BYOD was in its nascent stages, companies would erase data remotely if a smartphone was lost. But people misplace their phones at times, so it could lead to problems if critical data is wiped off.
Developing BYOD Policy..While developing BYOD policy, enterprises need to consider the following:Segmentation of users and decide on what depth of access should be given to each specific segment.What type of devices need to be permitted to access corporate data Device specific security policies Need of well-defined service policies Defining use polices
The legal team has to ensure that managers are properly trained on the BYOD user policy. No details can be afforded to be given a miss.
To Avoid Risks: A BYOD workplace is being embraced by companies with
an effort to make staff more comfortable, leading to higher productivity. It would also give them flexibility of working from any location at any time and on any device of their choice.
Some companies, however, see some employees misusing their devices to play games or to access sites not related to their work. Consequently, some apps have had to be added to the BYOD blacklist.
ConclusionFinally we can say instead of banning BYOD enable it securely Create a clear policy on BYOD rights and information
security rules. Train employees to protect work information accessed on
personal devices.
