BYOD reality: Missing mobile device usage policies

BYOD reality: Missing mobile device usage policies | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Coalfire recently conducted a survey on the BYOD to work trend. The findings reveal many companies are not discussing mobile device cybersecurity issues with their employees and lack policies to protect sensitive company data.

 

The survey was conducted last month among 400 individuals in a variety of industries across North America that do not work in IT departments.

 

“The BYOD trend is not slowing down, and while it has many benefits, it’s also introducing a number of new security risks that may be foreign to many companies,” said Rick Dakin, CEO and chief security strategist with Coalfire.

 

===> “The results of this survey demonstrate that companies must do much more to protect their critical infrastructure as employees work from their own mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones, in the workplace.
