The number of bad bots has grown exponentially in recent years, driving poor internet performance for individuals and the loss of control over connected devices; wholesale theft of online intellectual property, content and data; unnecessarily high bandwidth fees; and compromised websites that are otherwise key to mission-critical functions. In fact, bad bots almost doubled as a percentage of all web traffic over the course of 2013, from 12.25% to 23.6%. And the number of mobile bots is up a staggering 1,000%.

A myriad of threats: * Employers often cannot assess data breach exposure on unmanaged BYODs *Lost or stolen BYODs that contain sensitive data, with less than 1 in 4 can be remotely wiped. * When BYODs bypass inbound filters normally applied to corporate devices, they’re vulnerable to malware and the list goes on and on

The biometrics hacking team of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) has successfully bypassed the biometric security of Apple's TouchID using easy everyday means. A fingerprint of the phone user, photographed from a glass surface, was enough to create a fake finger that could unlock an iPhone 5s secured with TouchID.
This demonstrates – again – that fingerprint biometrics is unsuitable as access control method and should be avoided.
