  2. BYOD – A Real Issue for Businesses BYOD stands for "Bring Your Own Device" to work and refers to employee use of their own personal mobile devices to perform company work activities. The BYOD phenomenon has raised serious questions about processes and data security that each business must address.

  3. The BYOD Challenge IT departments are facing the unprecedented challenge of implementing security procedures for the personal mobile devices of their employees. This is necessary in order to keep their networks safe from intrusion, and to protect company data from being stolen or lost.

  4. Smart Facts About BYOD • Nearly 80% of white-collar workers in the US use their own tablet or Smartphone for work. • 70% of mobile professionals will conduct their work on personal smart devices by 2018. • By 2016 worldwide shipments of smart phones will reach 480 million, and 65% will be used for BYOD

  6. Why Security a key factor? Effective tools for BYOD Security • Mobile device management (MDM) software is available for IT departments to use for securing BYODs. This software disables specific features of devices, like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It also enables companies to wipe stolen or lost devices. • Good Choices Include: • Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) • Microsoft Windows Intune
