Lack of bring- your- own- device policies- damaging your workplace
A bring- your- own device policy relates to a set of rules surrounding a business policy to support a persons personal IT products. This includes PCs, smartphones, laptops and tablets which an employee brings in from home.
Many businesses shave a strict no home device policy but recent survey results show that almost 50% of studied users brought in their own home devices well aware they are not allowed. A bring- your- own device policy can help control this usage as strict rules and consequences are in place.
The issues arise when home users require their personal PCs to be managed by the company’s internal IT engineers. This spread resources thin and means that project work cannot be carried out as all available resources are focussed on handling the issues surrounding these home devices. Further complications arise as users do not have adequate business IT security on their own mobile devices. Every time a personal home device accesses a work system the risk of virus and malware being spread around escalations.
