Known as the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon, on one hand, there is an opportunity for greatly increased productivity and decreased costs.
===> On the other, there are increased security risks, management issues and even data and device ownership and governance issues. <===

But the 50,000+ device figure is also an increase of 52% from just 12 months earlier.

The Security, Privacy and Legal Implications of BYOD

Ignorance, as those in IT security know, is not bliss.
And, two new studies when viewed together show that consumer ignorance of the consequences of their actions coupled with enterprises' unawareness of their computing environment equal unacceptable risk.
===> Many organizations unduly place themselves at risk by allowing access to their computers by mobile devices used by employees who download apps without understanding their consequences.

As ESET's BYOD Infographic shows, BYOD is no LOL matter, bringing with it some serious risks to company networks and data. Based on an ESET Harris Interactive survey.
Another BYOD risk factor is the practice of letting someone else use the device. This could be "just" a family member or friend but it introduces the possibility of that person gaining access to the company network or sensitive company data stored on the device.
===> Furthermore, if this "other person" is not trained in safe computing practices there is a serious risk of them getting the device infected or compromised. <===

“Nowadays, you have to have a layer past the firewall that we didn’t have to deal with when we simply said no to user-owned devices,” he says. “Now all of a sudden, you have multiple points of entry at different levels of access, and that requires more diligence.” One key to maintaining adequate security, Knezek and other experts say, is to have multiple networks: one for Wi-Fi traffic, one for district business and for other secure information for teachers and administrators only, and one for students and outside users of the district’s Web site.

Even if cost-savings is not the goal, most companies believe that processing of company data on employee personal devices is inevitable and unavoidable. Unfortunately, BYOD raises significant data security and privacy concerns, which can lead to potential legal and liability risk.
