2. BYOD – BringYourOwn Device
 There is a growing trend for partnerships with community
colleges, manufacturers to develop curricula, and to select and
recruit candidates.
 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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
i. Device specific security policies
ii. Need of well-defined service policies
iii. 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.

6. ToAvoid 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.

7. Conclusion
Finally 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.
