What is BYOD Security?
Bring your own device (BYOD) means that employees use personal devices to connect to an organization’s network, accessing work-related systems and possibly, sensitive data. Personal devices may include smartphones, personal computers, tablets or USB drives.
According to several studies, well over 50% of organizations and over 70% of employees use personal devices at work, and these numbers are rapidly growing. This means BYOD security is top of mind for IT and security leadership.
Personal devices are more likely to be used to break into corporate networks, whether or not they are approved by IT, because they are less secured and more likely to contain security vulnerabilities compared to corporate devices. Therefore, it is critical to understand and address BYOD security for organizations of all sizes.
