Employees and Employers Share the BYOD Burden
View infographic: Separating Corporate from Personal Data on Mobile Devices
Gartner predicts that 50% of employers will embrace BYOD by 2017. These employers believe that BYOD enhances employee productivity. What they may not be fully aware of are the risks that come with this measure. About 2 in 5 large data breaches are caused by lost or stolen employee devices, and roughly 3 in 10 employees with company data stored on unsanctioned Web services are responsible for security breaches.
To maximize the benefits of BYOD without increasing the risks, companies and their employees need to strike a balance between maintaining employee privacy and having control over corporate data on devices. Employers, for example, can set clear guidelines or BYOD policies that employees need to follow to avoid corporate data from spilling out. Employees, on the other hand, need to abide by these rules but make sure that their own data is safe from prying eyes.
