So How does BYOD work?
-BYOD represents an opportunity between employees and
employers. Typically, an organization will develop a BYOD policy that addresses
security concerns, the types of allowable devices and other important
considerations. Employees should read and understand their employer's policy
before agreeing to it.
In some cases, the employer may require
that employees install specific applications on their device. The employer may
install security measures on devices used to access sensitive company data. For
example, some organizations require software that wipes corporate data if it
detects potential tampering.
It is also common for policies to give
employers remote access to their employees' devices. Employees may prefer a
more distinct break between their office and home lives. In that case, they may
prefer to have one device for work and another for personal use.
