Video Highlights:
00:43 BYOD is more than just a trend; it’s fast becoming the norm in mobile business communication. The move to BYOD brings plenty of advantages for employers, some of which might apply to your company.
01:13 Employees are also typically more comfortable using their personal devices. Not everyone is tech-savvy, and having to master and manage only one phone or tablet is a huge help for such employees.
01:53 Employee use of personal devices comes with serious considerations that must be weighed and addressed. The most significant of these is, of course, security-including the loss of private and sensitive data and the possibility of malware.
02:29 Your employees should have secure credentials and passwords to access company servers and information, and they should also agree to keep their devices locked and ready to be disabled in case of loss or theft.
03:!3 Managing these issues will require that you have solid tech support in place, either on-staff or by contract. Your IT team can help determine which types of devices will support the activities you need, and help stay on top of securing your sensitive data and servers.
03:26 Finally, if you offer the option of BYOD to employees, draft a policy that covers what you expect employees to do to limit the risk of a breach and the consequences of failure to comply with those requests.
